If, based on the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.2.1 or the last two sentences of Section 2.2.2(b) (the “U.S. Fronting Limitations”), the Fronting Commitments are not sufficient to fund all of the requested U.S. Fronting Loans in such Alternative Currency or to such Foreign Borrower, then the applicable U.S. Borrower shall, within one Business Day after notice by U.S. Funding Agent of such insufficiency, decrease the amount of the requested U.S. Committed Borrowing to the amount that would result in utilization of the maximum available Fronting Commitments, subject to the U.S. Fronting Limitations and, if applicable, after giving effect to the following sentence. If one or more U.S. Lenders are U.S. Non-Qualified Lenders solely because such U.S. Lenders are not capable of making requested U.S. Committed Loans to a Foreign Borrower without the imposition of withholding taxes (each a “U.S. Specified Lender”), such Borrower may, within one Business Day after notice by U.S. Funding Agent of the insufficiency, notify U.S. Funding Agent that it will accept responsibility for such withholding taxes with respect to such U.S. Committed Borrowing, in which case (i) U.S. Funding Agent and the Fronting Lenders shall allocate the available Fronting Commitments (A) first, to cover any portion of such Borrowing that will not be funded by a U.S. Lender because it is a Non-Qualified Lender for a reason other than potential withholding taxes and (B) then, to cover the remaining amount of such Borrowing, in each case up to the maximum available Fronting Commitments, subject to the U.S. Fronting Limitations, (ii) the participations in any Fronting Loans made pursuant to clause (i)(B) above shall be allocated among the U.S. Specified Lenders pro rata according to their respective U.S. Commitments, (iii) each U.S. Specified Lender shall fund its pro rata share of such Borrowing to the extent not funded by the Fronting Lenders and (iv) such Borrower shall pay or reimburse each U.S. Specified Lender for any withholding tax arising from such Borrowing in accordance with Section 7.1.
(b) Each Non-Qualified Japan Lender with respect to the U.S. Tranche (i) represents and warrants to each applicable Fronting Lender that (A) the purchase of a risk participation in such Fronting Loan by such Non-Qualified Japan Lender and (B) the funding of such risk participation in such Fronting Loan by such Non-Qualified Japan Lender will not violate any applicable Law (including any Law of Japan), and (ii) agrees to indemnify such Fronting Lender for all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for such Fronting Lender) incurred by such Fronting Lender or asserted against such Fronting Lender arising from any Fronting Loan made by such Fronting Lender pursuant to Section 2.2.1. Without limiting the foregoing, no Fronting Lender shall be obligated to make any Fronting Loan pursuant to Section 2.2.1 if such Fronting Lender determines that any representation or warranty of the applicable Non-Qualified Japan Lender in clause (i) of the preceding sentence is not accurate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
57
this Section 2.2.2(b), no Fronting Lender shall make a Fronting Loan in which a Non-Qualified Japan Lender would be required to purchase a risk participation if such Non-Qualified Japan Lender has notified such Fronting Lender at least two Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing (with copies to U.S. Funding Agent and Prologis) that, as a result of a Change in Law, such Lender cannot make the representation and warranty set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.2.2(b).
Section 2.2.3 Refinancing of the U.S. Fronting Loans.
(a) (i) On the Trigger Date, the outstanding principal amount of U.S. Committed Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than an Alternative Currency denominated in Euro, Sterling, Yen, or Canadian Dollars) shall be converted to Dollars at the Dollar Equivalent thereof based on the Spot Rate as of the Trigger Date, but only if any portion of such U.S. Committed Loans is funded with a U.S. Fronting Loan. Once converted to Dollars pursuant to the foregoing sentence, such U.S. Committed Loans shall be denominated in Dollars for all purposes of this Agreement. After giving effect to such conversion, on the Trigger Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, U.S. Funding Agent shall notify each U.S. Non-Qualified Lender of its obligation to fund its participation in each applicable U.S. Fronting Loan. Each applicable U.S. Non-Qualified Lender shall make the amount of its participation in each applicable U.S. Fronting Loan specified in such notice available to U.S. Funding Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender at U.S. Funding Agent’s Office for payments in the same currency as the applicable U.S. Fronting Loan (after giving effect to the conversion described above in this clause (i)) not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice. The applicable Borrower shall indemnify each applicable Agent and Lender for any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Agent or Lender in connection with any conversion of U.S. Committed Loans pursuant to this clause (i), together with any amounts owed pursuant to Section 7.5.
(ii) To the extent that a U.S. Non-Qualified Lender that has a risk participation in a U.S. Fronting Loan assigns all or part of its interest in such risk participation under Section 14.6 to a U.S. Qualified Lender for purposes of such U.S. Fronting Loan, then such U.S. Qualified Lender shall make the amount of its assigned participation in such U.S. Fronting Loan available to U.S. Funding Agent in Same Day Funds for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender at U.S. Funding Agent’s Office for payments in the same currency as the applicable U.S. Fronting Loan not later than 1:00 p.m. on the third Business Day following the effective date of the assignment.
(b) If any applicable U.S. Lender fails to make available to any Fronting Lender any amount required to be paid by such U.S. Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2.3 by the time specified in Section 2.2.3(a), such Fronting Lender shall be entitled to recover from such U.S. Lender (acting through U.S. Funding Agent), on demand, such amount in the same currency as the applicable U.S. Fronting Loan with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Fronting Lender at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of a Fronting Lender submitted to any applicable U.S. Lender (through U.S. Funding Agent) with respect to any amount owing under this clause (b) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
58
(c) Each applicable U.S. Lender’s obligation to purchase and fund risk participations in U.S. Fronting Loans pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such U.S. Lender may have against the applicable Fronting Lender, any U.S. Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of any U.S. Borrower to repay any Fronting Lender, together with interest as provided herein.
(d) At any time after any U.S. Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a U.S. Fronting Loan, if the applicable Fronting Lender receives any payment on account of such U.S. Fronting Loan, such Fronting Lender will distribute to such U.S. Lender such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such U.S. Lender’s participation was funded) in the same funds and currency as those received by such Fronting Lender.
(e) If any payment received by any Fronting Lender (and paid to a U.S. Lender) in respect of principal of or interest on any U.S. Fronting Loan is required to be returned by such Fronting Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 14.5 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Fronting Lender in its discretion), such U.S. Lender shall pay to such Fronting Lender in the applicable currency of such Fronting Loan the amount of such payment in respect of such U.S. Fronting Loan on demand of U.S. Funding Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate. U.S. Funding Agent will make such demand upon the request of the applicable Fronting Lender. The obligations of the applicable U.S. Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 2.2.4 Payments for Account of the applicable Fronting Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, until the applicable U.S. Lender funds its risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.2 to refinance such U.S. Lender’s applicable U.S. Fronting Loan, all payments made hereunder in respect of the portion of any U.S. Committed Loan that was funded in part by a Fronting Lender shall be solely for the account of the applicable Fronting Lender.
Section 2.2.5 Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Fronting Lender shall be required to make a U.S. Fronting Loan with respect to which there is a U.S. Non-Qualified Lender that is a Defaulting Lender at the time of the receipt by U.S. Funding Agent of the applicable U.S. Committed Loan Notice or at any time prior to the funding of such U.S. Fronting Loan. In addition, to the extent (a) a U.S. Fronting Loan is outstanding, (b) a U.S. Non-Qualified Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and (c) the applicable Fronting Lender makes a demand for repayment to the applicable U.S. Borrower, then such U.S. Borrower shall repay such U.S. Fronting Loan (i) on or before the earlier of (A) 30 days following receipt of such demand or (B) the fifth day following the last day of the applicable Interest Period ending after receipt of such demand or (ii) if no Interest Period is in effect with respect to such U.S. Fronting Loan, within ten days following receipt of such demand. If any such U.S. Fronting Loan is not repaid in full on the last day of an Interest Period (if applicable or required under clause (i)(B) above), subject to Section 6.4.2, such U.S. Fronting Loan shall bear interest at the Daily Simple SOFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin until such payment is made hereunder.

Section 2.3 U.S. Committed Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of U.S. Committed Loans.
Section 2.3.1 Procedures for U.S. Committed Borrowings. Each U.S. Committed Borrowing, each conversion of U.S. Committed Loans denominated in Dollars from one Type of Dollar-denominated Loans to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans, Term SOFR Rate Loans or TIIE Rate Loans shall be made upon the requesting U.S. Borrower’s irrevocable notice to U.S. Funding Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone, or (B) a U.S. Committed Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to U.S. Funding Agent of a U.S. Committed Loan Notice. Each such notice must be received by U.S. Funding Agent not later than (a) 11:00 a.m. two Business Days prior to the requested date of any U.S. Committed Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Rate Loans, (b) 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the requested date of any U.S. Committed Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans (other than a U.S. Committed Borrowing denominated in Yen) or Daily Floating XXXXX Rate Loans, (c) 11:00 a.m. four Business Days prior to the requested date of any Eurocurrency Rate Committed Borrowings denominated in Yen or any continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in Yen, (d) 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to the requested date of any U.S. Committed Borrowing of or continuation of TIIE Rate Loans, (e) 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day of the requested date of any U.S. Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Committed Loans or any conversion to Base Rate Loans and (f) 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day of the requested date of any U.S. Committed Borrowing of Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans or any conversion to Daily Simple SOFR Rate Loans. Each U.S. Committed Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation thereof shall be in a principal amount permitted by Section 6.1.1, except as provided in Section 5.3. Each U.S. Committed Loan Notice shall specify (i) the jurisdiction of the applicable U.S. Borrower and whether such Borrower is a Foreign Borrower, (ii) whether such U.S. Borrower is requesting a U.S. Committed Borrowing, a conversion of U.S. Committed Loans denominated in Dollars from one Type of Dollar-denominated Loans to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans, Term SOFR Rate Loans or TIIE Rate Loans, (iii) the requested date of the U.S. Committed Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) the principal amount of U.S. Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (v) the Type of U.S. Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing U.S. Committed Loans denominated in Dollars are to be converted, (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vii) the currency of the U.S. Committed Loans to be borrowed or continued. If the requesting U.S. Borrower fails to specify a currency in a U.S. Committed Loan Notice requesting a U.S. Committed Borrowing, then the U.S. Committed Loans so requested shall be made in Dollars. If the requesting U.S. Borrower fails to specify a Type of U.S. Committed Loan in a U.S. Committed Loan Notice or if the requesting U.S. Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a continuation, then the applicable U.S. Committed Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Committed Loans; provided that in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of U.S. Committed Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency of the U.S. Tranche, such U.S. Committed Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans or TIIE Rate Loans, as applicable, in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month or 28 days, as applicable, or Daily Floating XXXXX Rate
60
Loans (if the requested currency is Sterling). Any automatic conversion to Base Rate Committed Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Term SOFR Rate Loans. If the requesting U.S. Borrower requests a U.S. Committed Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans, Term SOFR Rate Loans or TIIE Rate Loans in any such U.S. Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month or 28 days, as applicable. Except as provided in Section 7.3, no U.S. Committed Loan may be converted into or continued as a U.S. Committed Loan denominated in a different currency, but instead must be repaid in the original currency of such U.S. Committed Loan and reborrowed in the other currency.
Section 2.3.2 Funding of U.S. Committed Loans. Following receipt of a U.S. Committed Loan Notice, U.S. Funding Agent shall promptly notify each U.S. Lender of the amount and currency of its Applicable Tranche Percentage of the applicable U.S. Committed Borrowing, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the applicable U.S. Borrower, U.S. Funding Agent shall notify each U.S. Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Committed Loans or continuation of U.S. Committed Loans denominated in a currency other than Dollars, in each case as described in Section 2.3.1. In the case of a U.S. Committed Borrowing, each U.S. Qualified Lender and the applicable Fronting Lender, if any, shall make the amount of its U.S. Committed Loan available to U.S. Funding Agent in Same Day Funds at U.S. Funding Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 1:00 p.m., in the case of any U.S. Committed Loan denominated in Dollars (other than Daily Floating Rate Loans) and not later than 3:00 p.m. in the case of any Daily Floating Rate Loans, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by U.S. Funding Agent in the case of any U.S. Committed Loan in an Alternative Currency under the U.S. Tranche, in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable U.S. Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 (and, if such U.S. Committed Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 8.1), U.S. Funding Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable U.S. Borrower in like funds as received by U.S. Funding Agent either by (a) crediting the account of such U.S. Borrower on the books of U.S. Funding Agent with the amount of such funds or (b) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) U.S. Funding Agent by such U.S. Borrower; provided that if, on the date the U.S. Committed Loan Notice with respect to such U.S. Committed Borrowing denominated in Dollars is given by such U.S. Borrower, such U.S. Borrower has outstanding U.S. L/C Borrowings, then the proceeds of such U.S. Committed Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of such U.S. L/C Borrowings, and, second, shall be made available to the applicable U.S. Borrower as provided above.
Section 2.3.3 Certain Continuations and Conversions. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan, a Term SOFR Rate Loan and a TIIE Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan, Term SOFR Rate Loan or TIIE Rate Loan, as applicable. During the existence of an Event of Default, the U.S. Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the U.S. Borrowers (which notice may be revoked at the option of the U.S. Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 14.1) declare that (a) no U.S. Loans denominated in Dollars may be requested as, converted to or continued as a Term SOFR Rate Loan and (b) no U.S. Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency may be requested or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans or TIIE Rate Loans, other than as Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans or TIIE Rate Loans, as applicable, with an Interest Period of one month or 28 days, as applicable.
61
Section 2.3.4 Notice of Rates. U.S. Funding Agent shall promptly notify the applicable U.S. Borrower and U.S. Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans and Term SOFR Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, U.S. Funding Agent shall notify the applicable U.S. Borrower and U.S. Lenders of any change in U.S. Funding Agent’s “prime rate” used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.
Section 2.3.5 Number of Interest Periods. After giving effect to all U.S. Committed Borrowings, all conversions of U.S. Committed Loans denominated in Dollars from one Type of Dollar-denominated Loans to the other, and all continuations of U.S. Committed Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than 12 Interest Periods in effect with respect to U.S. Committed Loans.
Section 2.4 U.S. Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (a) each U.S. L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of U.S. Lenders set forth in this Section 2.4 and Article V, (i) from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period, to issue U.S. Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars for the account of any U.S. Borrower or any Eligible Affiliate, and to amend or extend U.S. Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 5.2, and (ii) to honor drawings under the applicable U.S. Letters of Credit; and (b) U.S. Lenders severally agree to participate in U.S. Letters of Credit issued for the account of any U.S. Borrower or any Eligible Affiliates and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any U.S. L/C Credit Extension with respect to any U.S. Letter of Credit, (v) the U.S. Total Outstandings shall not exceed the U.S. Aggregate Commitments, (w) the U.S. Credit Exposure of any U.S. Lender shall not exceed such U.S. Lender’s U.S. Commitment, (x) the U.S. Outstanding Amount of the U.S. L/C Obligations shall not exceed the U.S. Letter of Credit Sublimit, (y) the aggregate amount of all Bank of America L/C Outstandings shall not exceed the Bank of America U.S. Letter of Credit Sublimit and (z) the aggregate amount of all JPMorgan L/C Outstandings shall not exceed the JPMorgan U.S. Letter of Credit Sublimit.

Section 2.6.1 Prepayments of Committed Loans. Each U.S. Borrower may, upon notice to U.S. Funding Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay U.S. Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (a) such notice must be in a form acceptable to U.S. Funding Agent and be received by U.S. Funding Agent, not later than (i) 11:00 a.m. three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, Daily Floating XXXXX Rate Loans or TONAR

Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loans, Term SOFR Rate Loans or TIIE Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of the applicable Loans. U.S. Funding Agent will promptly notify each U.S. Lender and each Fronting Lender, as applicable, of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such U.S. Lender’s Applicable Tranche Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by such U.S. Borrower, then such U.S. Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Committed Loan, Term SOFR Rate Loan or TIIE Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amount required pursuant to Section 7.5. Subject to Sections 2.2.4 and 6.8.3, each such prepayment shall be applied to the U.S. Committed Loans of U.S. Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.

Section 2.6.3 Prepayments Due to Currency Fluctuations. U.S. Funding Agent shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent of the U.S. Total Outstandings (but only with respect to U.S. Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency) on each applicable Revaluation Date. If on the Revaluation Date that occurs on the first Business Day of each calendar month, on the last day of an Interest Period, or such other times as U.S. Funding Agent may determine in its reasonable discretion, such calculation reflects that, as of such Revaluation Date, the Dollar Equivalent of the U.S. Total Outstandings exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the U.S. Aggregate Commitments then in effect, then, within five Business Days after notice of such calculation from U.S. Funding Agent to Prologis, U.S. Borrowers shall prepay U.S. Loans and/or Cash Collateralize U.S. L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the U.S. Total Outstandings as of such date of payment to an amount not exceeding 100% of the U.S. Aggregate Commitments then in effect; provided that solely for purposes of measuring compliance with this Section 2.6.3, the amount of Cash Collateral delivered to U.S. Funding Agent under this Section 2.6.3 shall be deemed to have reduced the U.S. Total Outstandings. Subject to Section 2.2.4, each such prepayment shall be applied to the U.S. Committed Loans of U.S. Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.
Section 2.6.4 Other Prepayments. If at any time the Dollar Equivalent of the U.S. Total Outstandings exceeds the U.S. Aggregate Commitments then in effect and such excess is not due to a currency exchange fluctuation covered under Section 2.6.3, then, within two Business Days after notice from U.S. Funding Agent to Prologis, U.S. Borrowers shall prepay the U.S. Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the U.S. L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce the Dollar Equivalent of such U.S. Total Outstandings as of such date of payment to an
63
amount not to exceed the U.S. Aggregate Commitments then in effect, without regard to any minimum or multiples specified in Section 6.1.2 with respect to prepayments. Subject to Section 2.2.4, each such prepayment shall be applied to the U.S. Committed Loans of U.S. Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Tranche Percentages.
Section 2.7 U.S. Bid Loans.
Section 2.7.1 General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each U.S. Lender agrees that any Domestic Borrower under the U.S. Tranche may from time to time request the U.S. Lenders to submit offers to make loans in Dollars (each such loan, a “U.S. Bid Loan”) to such Domestic Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period pursuant to this Section 2.7; provided that immediately after giving effect to any U.S. Bid Borrowing, (a) the U.S. Total Outstandings shall not exceed the U.S. Aggregate Commitments and (b) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all U.S. Bid Loans shall not exceed the U.S. Bid Loan Sublimit.

(ii) the principal amount of each U.S. Bid Loan must be $5,000,000 or a higher whole multiple of $1,000,000;

(iv) the applicable Borrower may not accept any offer that is described in Section 2.7.3(c) or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements hereof.
Section 2.7.6 Procedure for Identical Bids. If two or more U.S. Lenders have submitted U.S. Competitive Bids at the same Absolute Rate or Term SOFR Bid Margin, as the case may be, for the same Interest Period, and the result of accepting all of such U.S. Competitive Bids in whole (together with any other U.S. Competitive Bids at lower Absolute Rates or Term SOFR Bid Margins, as the case may be, accepted for such Interest Period in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.7.5) would be to cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable U.S. Bid Borrowing to exceed the amount specified therefor in the related U.S. Bid Request, then, unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Borrower, U.S. Funding Agent and such U.S. Lenders, the applicable Borrower shall accept such U.S. Competitive Bids as nearly as possible in proportion to the amount offered by each such U.S. Lender in respect of such Interest Period, with such accepted amounts in each case being rounded to a whole multiple of $1,000,000.
Section 2.7.7 Notice to Lenders of Acceptance or Rejection of Bids. U.S. Funding Agent shall promptly notify each U.S. Lender having submitted a U.S. Competitive Bid whether or not its offer has been accepted and, if its offer has been accepted, of the amount of the U.S. Bid Loan or Bid Loans to be made by it on the date of the applicable U.S. Bid Borrowing. Any U.S. Competitive Bid or portion thereof that is not accepted by the applicable Borrower by the applicable time specified in Section 2.7.5 shall be deemed rejected.
Section 2.7.8 Notice of Term SOFR Rate. If any U.S. Bid Borrowing is to consist of U.S. Term SOFR Margin Bid Loans, U.S. Funding Agent (a) shall determine the Term SOFR Rate for the relevant Interest Period and (b) promptly after making such determination, shall notify the applicable Borrower and the U.S. Lenders that will be participating in such U.S. Bid Borrowing of such Term SOFR Rate.
Section 2.7.9 Funding of U.S. Bid Loans. Each U.S. Lender that has received notice pursuant to Section 2.7.7 that all or a portion of its U.S. Competitive Bid has been accepted by the applicable Borrower shall make the amount of its U.S. Bid Loan(s) available to U.S. Funding Agent in immediately available funds at U.S. Funding Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m., Applicable Time, on the date of the requested U.S. Bid Borrowing. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2, U.S. Funding Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Borrower in like funds as received by U.S. Funding Agent.
Section 2.7.10 Notice of Range of Bids. After each U.S. Competitive Bid auction pursuant to this Section 2.7, U.S. Funding Agent shall notify each U.S. Lender that submitted a U.S. Competitive Bid in such auction of the ranges of bids submitted (without the bidder’s name) and accepted for each U.S. Bid Loan and the aggregate amount of each U.S. Bid Borrowing.
