3.7 Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrowers. (a) Upon receipt by the relevant Issuing Lender from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing or demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower that requested such Letter of Credit and the Administrative Agent thereof. If such Borrower receives notice (confirmed by telephone) from such Issuing Lender of a drawing or demand for payment under a Letter of Credit prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), on any Business Day, such Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Lender on such Business Day for the Unreimbursed Amount of such Letter of Credit. If such Borrower receives notice (confirmed by telephone) from such Issuing Lender of a drawing or demand for payment under a Letter of Credit at or after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), on any Business Day, such Borrower shall so reimburse such Issuing Lender on the Business Day immediately following the Business Day upon which such notice was received by such Borrower. Such reimbursement shall be made directly to such Issuing Lender in the currency in which such Letter of Credit was drawn in an amount equal to (i) the amount so paid and (ii) any Non-Excluded Taxes and any reasonable fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender at its Applicable Lending Office in immediately available funds (such amount that has not been reimbursed by the applicable Borrower being, the “Unreimbursed Amount”).
(b) If the applicable Borrower fails to fully reimburse any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.7(a) at the time and on the due date specified in such Section (the “Reimbursement Date”), such Issuing Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the applicable Borrower), which notice shall be provided on a Business Day, and specify in such notice the amount (and currency) of the Unreimbursed Amount. Immediately upon receipt of such notice from such Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Relevant L/C Participant of the Reimbursement Date, the Unreimbursed Amount, and the amount (and currency) of such Relevant L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage or Adjusted Dollar Working Capital Facility Uncommitted Tranche Percentage thereof.
(c) If there shall be any Unreimbursed Amounts owing to any Issuing Lender on or after such Unreimbursed Amounts were due pursuant to Section 3.7(a), the relevant Issuing Lender may request on behalf of the applicable Borrower (and each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes such Issuing Lender to act on its behalf solely in this regard), that each Relevant Facility Lender make a Relevant Facility Loan (which initially shall be a Base Rate Loan (in the case of a Loan denominated in United States Dollars) or a Prime Rate Loan (in the case of a Loan denominated in Canadian Dollars)) in the currency in which such Letter of Credit was drawn and in an amount equal to such Relevant Facility Lender’s Commitment Percentage or Adjusted Dollar Working Capital Facility Uncommitted Tranche Percentage, as applicable, of the outstanding amount of such Unreimbursed Amount (an “L/C Reimbursement Loan”). In accordance with Section 2.5(c) or 2.5(d), as applicable, unless any of the conditions contained in Section 6.2 shall not have been satisfied or waived (in which event the procedures set forth in Section 3.6 shall apply), each Relevant Facility Lender shall make the proceeds of its Relevant Facility Loan available to the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date such request is made. The proceeds of such Relevant Facility Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the applicable Issuing Lender.
-127- |
(d) With respect to Unreimbursed Amounts that are not paid on the date due, interest shall be payable on any and all Unreimbursed Amounts from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, demand or otherwise) until payment in full (either in cash or upon the making of a Relevant Facility Loan) at the applicable rate which would be payable on any outstanding Relevant Facility Loans that were Base Rate Loans or (with respect to Unreimbursed Amounts denominated in Canadian Dollars) Prime Rate Loans, as applicable, which were then overdue.
3.8 Obligations Absolute. (a) The Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Lenders, nor any of their Related Persons, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
-128- |
3.9 Role of the Issuing Lenders. (a) The responsibility of any Issuing Lender to the Borrowers in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of any Borrower shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered by or on behalf of the beneficiary under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit. In addition, each Lender and each Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing or demand for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender of such Letter of Credit shall not have any responsibility to inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any document presented in connection with such drawing or demand for payment or the authority of the Person executing or delivering the same.
(b) No Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith in respect of any Letter of Credit at the request or with the approval or deemed approved of the Required Lenders, the Required Committed Lenders or the Required Dollar Working Capital Facility Uncommitted Tranche Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in respect of any Letter of Credit in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any document delivered in connection with the issuance or payment of such Letter of Credit.
(c) The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude any Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against such beneficiary or transferee. No Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Lenders shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 3.8; provided, however, that anything in such Section or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any Borrower may have a claim against any Issuing Lender and such Issuing Lender may be liable to such Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by such Borrower which such Borrower proved were caused (x) by such Issuing Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of documents strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit or (y) as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct by such Issuing Lender with respect to the payment by such Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit against presentation of any document or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) any Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary; and (ii) no Issuing Lender shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

-130- |
(i) The U.S. Borrower may make a written request for such Facility Increase to the Administrative Agent, who shall forward a copy of any such request to the Lenders under such Facility. Each request by the U.S. Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall specify a proposed effective date of such increase (the “Requested Increase Effective Date”), the aggregate amount of such requested increase (the “Requested Increase Amount”), and shall (subject to clause (iii) below) constitute an invitation to each of the Lenders under such Facility to increase its Commitment or Dollar Working Capital Facility Uncommitted Tranche Portion, as applicable, under such Facility by its Commitment Percentage or Dollar Working Capital Facility Uncommitted Tranche Percentage, as applicable, of such Requested Increase Amount.
(ii) Each Lender under such Facility, acting in its sole discretion and with no obligations to increase its Commitment or Dollar Working Capital Facility Uncommitted Tranche Portion, as applicable, under such Facility pursuant to this Section 4.1(b), shall by written notice to the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent advise the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to all or any portion of such increase in its Commitment or Dollar Working Capital Facility Uncommitted Tranche Portion, as applicable, under such Facility within ten (10) days after the U.S. Borrower’s request. Any such Lender may accept all of its Commitment Percentage or Dollar Working Capital Facility Uncommitted Tranche Percentage, as applicable, of such increase, a portion of such increase, or decline to accept any of such increase in its Commitment or Dollar Working Capital Facility Uncommitted Tranche Portion, as applicable, under such Facility. If any such Lender shall not have responded affirmatively within such ten (10) day period, such Lender shall be deemed to have rejected the U.S. Borrower’s request for an increase in such Commitment or Dollar Working Capital Facility Uncommitted Tranche Portion, as applicable, in full. Promptly following the conclusion of such ten (10) day period, the Administrative Agent shall notify the U.S. Borrower of the results of the request for the applicable Facility Increase.
-131- |
(iii) If the aggregate amount of the increases in the Commitments or Total Dollar Working Capital Facility Uncommitted Tranche Portions under any Facility which the Lenders under such Facility have accepted in accordance with Section 4.1(b)(ii) shall be less than the Requested Increase Amount, the Administrative Agent (subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders under such Facility, such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) may offer to such additional Persons (including the Lenders under such Facility), as may be agreed by the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the opportunity to make available such amount of new Commitments or Dollar Working Capital Facility Uncommitted Tranche Portions, as applicable, under such Facility as may be required so that the aggregate increases in the Commitments or Dollar Working Capital Facility Uncommitted Tranche Portions, as applicable, under such Facility by the existing Lenders thereunder together with such new Commitments or Dollar Working Capital Facility Uncommitted Tranche Portions, as applicable, by such other Persons (the “New Lenders”) shall equal the Requested Increase Amount (the aggregate Facility Increase provided by such existing Lenders and the New Lenders, the “Increase Amount”). Such Increase Amount shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to up to $100,000,000 in Facility Increases, the Borrowers may receive the Requested Increase Amount by, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders under the applicable Facility (such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), offering to such additional Persons (including the Lenders under the applicable Facility), as may be agreed by the U.S. Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the opportunity to make available such amount of new Commitments or Dollar Working Capital Facility Uncommitted Tranche Portions, as applicable, under the applicable Facility. The effectiveness of all such increases (each such date, the applicable “Increase Effective Date”) in the Commitments or Total Dollar Working Capital Facility Uncommitted Tranche Portions, as applicable, under such Facility are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (A) each Lender that so elects to increase its Commitment or Dollar Working Capital Facility Uncommitted Tranche Portion, as applicable, under such Facility (each an “Increasing Lender”), each New Lender, the Administrative Agent and the U.S. Borrower shall have executed and delivered an agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit P (an “Increase and New Lender Agreement”); (B)(i)(x) with respect to the Dollar Working Capital Facility, the aggregate Dollar Working Capital Facility Commitment plus the Total Dollar Working Capital Facility Uncommitted Tranche Portions after giving effect to such increases shall not exceed $1,200,000,000 in the aggregate and (y) with respect to the Multicurrency Working Capital Facility, the aggregate Multicurrency Working Capital Facility Commitment after giving effect to such increases shall not exceed $320,000,000; provided that the aggregate increases under clauses (i)(x) and (i)(y) shall not exceed $470,000,000 and (ii) with respect to the Acquisition Facility, the aggregate Acquisition Facility Commitments after giving effect to such increase shall not exceed $750,000,000; (C) any fees and other amounts (including pursuant to Section 11.6) payable by the U.S. Borrower in connection with such increase and accession shall have been paid; (D) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such increase in the Commitments or Total Dollar Working Capital Facility Uncommitted Tranche Portions; (E) delivery of an Availability Certification dated as of the date of such increase and (F) with respect to each Mortgaged Property, the Administrative Agent shall have received (1) such amendments to the Mortgage and Security Agreements or new Mortgage and Security Agreements as are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, in each case, executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the relevant Loan Party to the extent necessary to reflect the increase in the applicable Facility (it being understood that, unless requested by the Administrative Agent, no amendment shall increase the amount secured thereby if the same will result in the payment of additional mortgage recording tax) and (2) with respect to each such Mortgage and Security Agreement, a date-down endorsement to the title insurance policy covering such Mortgage and Security Agreement (or if a date-down is not available for a particular jurisdiction, a new title insurance policy in the same insured amount as originally issued or marked up unconditional title commitment, pro forma policy or binder for such insurance) in each case in form and substance not materially less favorable to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders as such title policies or marked up unconditional title commitments, pro forma policies or binders delivered on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date, (3) evidence satisfactory to it that all premiums in respect of a related date-down endorsement or title policy (or policies) have been paid and (4) to the extent required by applicable Law, a standard flood hazard determination for each Mortgaged Property located in the United States, and with respect to any Mortgaged Property in the United States that is located in a special flood hazard area and with respect to any Mortgaged Property located in Canada in a flood plain, evidence of flood insurance in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, Extensions of Credit made under any Facility Increase shall bear interest at the rate otherwise applicable to corresponding Extensions of Credit under the applicable Facility.
-132- |
