For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate principal amount of Multicurrency Revolving Loans made to Offshore Borrowers shall reduce the availability of Multicurrency Revolving Loans made to Xxxxx- Xxxxxxxx and other Additional Domestic Subsidiary Borrowers on a dollar-for-dollar basis to the extent of the Dollar Equivalent of the Multicurrency Revolving Loans outstanding.
(c) Refinancing Term Loans. (i) Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx, ACI and ACI NZ shall have the right at any time (so long as (x) no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default then exists and (y) Borrowers’ Agent shall have delivered to Administrative Agent a Compliance Certificate for the period of four full Fiscal Quarters immediately preceding the incurrence described below (prepared in good faith and in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 7.1(c) giving pro forma effect to such incurrence and evidencing compliance with the covenants referred to in such Compliance Certificate)), to incur loans from one or more existing Lenders and/or other Persons that are Eligible Assignees and which, in each case, agree to make such loans and commitments to make loans to Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx, ACI or ACI NZ as applicable (the “Refinancing Term Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the aggregate amount (together with accrued interest, premium and fees in respect thereof) of Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and Tranche C Term Loans theretofore made to such Borrower and thereafter repaid (or to be repaid with the proceeds of such Refinancing Term Loans). Refinancing Term Loans may be incurred as one or more tranches (of at least $150,000,000, or if less, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans to be refinanced) of Refinancing Term Loans as determined by Administrative Agent that are pari passu in all respects with, have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity of not less than, have a final maturity no earlier than and shall otherwise be (except as to pricing and fees) on terms and conditions substantially similar to, the applicable tranche of Term Loans such tranche of Refinancing Term Loans is to replace or refinance.
(ii) If Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx, ACI or ACI NZ desires to incur Refinancing Term Loans, Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx, ACI or ACI NZ, as applicable, will enter into an amendment with the applicable lenders (which shall upon execution thereof become Lenders hereunder if not theretofore Lenders) to provide for such Refinancing Term Loans, which amendment shall set forth any terms and conditions of the Refinancing Term Loans not covered by this Agreement as agreed by Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx, ACI or ACI NZ, as applicable, and such Lenders, and shall provide for the issuance of promissory notes to evidence the Refinancing Term Loans if requested by the lenders advancing Refinancing Term Loans (which notes shall constitute Notes for purposes of this Agreement), with such amendment to be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agents and consistent with the terms of this Section 2.1(c)(ii) and of the other provisions of this Agreement. Borrowers shall, and shall cause the other Loan Parties to, execute and deliver such documents and instruments and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with the Refinancing Term Loans. In addition, any Lenders providing Refinancing Term Loans shall become bound by the Re-Allocation Agreement in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders and Issuing Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to enter into any amendment or supplement to the Re-Allocation Agreement as the Administrative Agent deem necessary or appropriate in order to give effect to the foregoing. No consent of any Lender (other than any Lender making Refinancing Term Loans) is required to permit the Loans contemplated by this Section 2.1(c)(ii) or the aforesaid amendment to effectuate the Refinancing Term Loans. No Lender shall have any obligation, whether express or implied, to commit to provide any Refinancing Term Loans. This Section 2.1 shall supersede any provisions contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 12.1.
(d) Domestic Overdraft Account. (i) The Lenders agree that Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx and Administrative Agent may establish and maintain the Domestic Overdraft Account to be established pursuant to the Domestic Overdraft Agreement; provided that (x) the Domestic Overdraft Amount shall not exceed at any time $100,000,000, and (y) no extension of credit under the Domestic Overdraft Agreement shall be made if the Total Available Multicurrency Revolving Commitments equal less than zero. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary (but subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1(b)(ii) with respect to the making of Multicurrency Revolving Loans), the Lenders and Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx further agree that Administrative Agent at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may, upon notice to Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx and Multicurrency Revolving Lenders, require each Multicurrency Revolving Lender (including Administrative Agent) on one Business Day’s notice to make a Multicurrency Revolving Loan on behalf of Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx in an amount equal to that Lender’s Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share, or, in the sole and absolute discretion of Administrative Agent, require each other Multicurrency Revolving Lender to purchase a participation in amounts due with respect to the Domestic Overdraft Amount in an amount equal to that Lender’s Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share of the Domestic Overdraft Amount; provided, however, that the obligation of each such Lender to make each such Multicurrency Revolving Loan on behalf of Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx is subject to the condition that at the time such extension of credit under the Domestic Overdraft Agreement was made the duly authorized officer of Administrative Agent responsible for the administration of Administrative Agent’s credit relationship with Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx believed in good faith that (x) no Event of Default had occurred and was continuing or (y) any Event of Default that had occurred and was continuing had been waived by Requisite Lenders (or, if applicable under Section 12.1, all Lenders or all Lenders directly affected, as applicable) at the time such extension of credit under the Domestic Overdraft Agreement was made.
(ii) In the case of Multicurrency Revolving Loans made by Lenders other than Administrative Agent under Section 2.1(d)(i), each such Lender shall make the amount of its Multicurrency Revolving Loan available to Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.8.
The proceeds of such Multicurrency Revolving Loans shall be immediately delivered to Administrative Agent (and not to Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx or any other Loan Party) and applied to repay the Domestic Overdraft Amount. On the day such Multicurrency Revolving Loans are made, Administrative Agent’s Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share of the Domestic Overdraft Amount being refunded shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Multicurrency Revolving Loan made by Administrative Agent and such portion of the Domestic Overdraft Amount deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding.
(iii) Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx authorizes Administrative Agent to charge its account with Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in such account) in order to immediately pay Administrative Agent the amount of the Domestic Overdraft Amount to be refunded to the extent amounts received from Lenders, including amounts deemed to be received from Administrative Agent, are not sufficient to repay in full the Domestic Overdraft Amount to be refunded and provided further that Administrative Agent shall give Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx notice of such charges prior thereto or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.
(iv) Each Multicurrency Revolving Loan made in accordance with this Section 2.1(d) shall be made as a Base Rate Loan. If any portion of any such amount paid to Administrative Agent should be recovered by or on behalf of Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx from Administrative Agent in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Multicurrency Revolving Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 4.5.
(v) In the event that Administrative Agent requires the other Multicurrency Revolving Lenders to purchase participations in the Domestic Overdraft Amount, payment for such participations shall be made directly to Administrative Agent at the applicable Payment Office not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the Business Day next succeeding the date notice to purchase such participations is given. Except as provided above in this Section 2.1(d) (and, in the case of the obligation to make Multicurrency Revolving Loans, except for the satisfaction of the conditions specified in Section 5.1 and 5.2) each Lender’s obligation to make Multicurrency Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.1(d) and to purchase participations in the Domestic Overdraft Amount pursuant to this Section 2.1(d) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (v) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against Administrative Agent, any Loan Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (w) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default; (x) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party; (y) any breach of this Agreement by any Loan Party or any other Multicurrency Revolving Lender; or (z) any other circumstance, happening, or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that in the event that the obligations of Lenders to make Multicurrency Revolving Loans are terminated in accordance with Article X, Lenders having a Multicurrency Revolving Commitment shall thereafter only be obligated to purchase participations in the Domestic Overdraft Amount as provided in this Section 2.1(d). In the event that any Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of any of such Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Loans required to be made pursuant to this Section 2.1(d) or the amount of any participations in the Domestic Overdraft Amount which are required to be purchased from Administrative Agent by such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.1(d), Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at the customary rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this Section 2.1(d) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from Administrative Agent any amounts made available by such Lender to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.1(d) in respect of any extension of credit by Administrative Agent under the Domestic Overdraft
Agreement in the event that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment that such extension of credit by Administrative Agent constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Administrative Agent.
(vi) Any notice given by Administrative Agent to Lenders pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be concurrently given by Administrative Agent to Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx or Borrowers’ Agent.
(e) Offshore Overdraft Accounts. (i) The Lenders agree that ACI, O-I Canada, OIEG and OI Europe may each establish and maintain an Offshore Overdraft Account with an Offshore Overdraft Provider pursuant to an Offshore Overdraft Agreement; provided that (a) (1) the Australian Overdraft Amount shall not exceed at any time the Offshore Currency Equivalent of $30,000,000, (2) the Canadian Overdraft Amount shall not exceed at any time the Offshore Currency Equivalent of $20,000,000 and (3) the aggregate of the Dutch Overdraft Amount and the Swiss Overdraft Amount shall not exceed at any time the Offshore Currency Equivalent of $60,000,000, and (b) in no event shall an Offshore Borrower request an extension of credit under an Offshore Overdraft Agreement (and no Offshore Overdraft Provider shall be obligated to extend credit under an Offshore Overdraft Agreement) if, after giving effect to such extension of credit the Total Available Multicurrency Revolving Commitments or such Borrower’s Available Multicurrency Revolving Sublimit would equal less than zero.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary (but subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1(b)(ii) with respect to the making of Multicurrency Revolving Loans), Lenders and each Offshore Borrower further agree that any Offshore Overdraft Provider at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may, upon notice to the relevant Offshore Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders, require each Multicurrency Revolving Lender (including such Offshore Overdraft Provider) on three Business Days’ notice to (a) make a Multicurrency Revolving Loan in Dollars (in the case of such a Loan to O-I Canada), ADollars (in the case of such a Loan to ACI) or Euro (in the case of such a Loan to OIEG or OI Europe) in an amount equal to that Lender’s Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share (determined with respect to such type of Multicurrency Revolving Commitments) of the relevant Offshore Overdraft Amount (calculated in the case of such a Loan to O-I Canada by reference to the applicable Spot Rate on the date such Multicurrency Revolving Loan is to be made) or, (b) in the event the relevant type of Multicurrency Revolving Commitment has terminated or the conditions for the making of such Multicurrency Revolving Loans under Section 5.2 are not satisfied, require each Multicurrency Revolving Lender to purchase a participation in Dollars (in the case of the Canadian Overdraft Amount), ADollars (in the case of the Australian Overdraft Amount) or Euro (in the case of the Dutch Overdraft Amount or Swiss Overdraft Amount) in amounts due with respect to the relevant Offshore Overdraft Account in an amount equal to that Lender’s Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share of the relevant Offshore Overdraft Amount (calculated in the case of a participation in the Canadian Overdraft Amount by reference to the applicable Spot Rate on the date such participation is to be purchased); provided, however, that the obligation of each Multicurrency Revolving Lender to make each such Multicurrency Revolving Loan is subject to the condition that at the time such extension of credit under the applicable Offshore Overdraft Agreement was made the duly authorized officer of such Offshore Overdraft Provider responsible for the administration of such Offshore Overdraft Provider’s credit relationship with the relevant Offshore Borrower believed in good faith that (a) no Event of Default had occurred and was continuing, or (b) any Event of Default that had occurred and was continuing had been waived by Requisite Lenders (or, if applicable under Section 12.1, all Lenders or all Lenders with Obligations directly affected, as applicable) at the time such extension of credit under such Offshore Overdraft Agreement was made.
(iii) In the case of Multicurrency Revolving Loans or participation purchases made by Lenders other than Administrative Agent under Section 2.1(e)(ii), each such Lender shall make the amount of its Multicurrency Revolving Loan or the amount of its participation, as applicable, available to Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.8. The proceeds of such Multicurrency Revolving Loans or participation purchases shall be delivered by Administrative Agent to such Offshore Overdraft Provider (and not to any Borrower or other Loan Party) as soon as practicable and applied to repay the relevant Offshore Overdraft Amount. On the day such Multicurrency Revolving Loans are made or such participations are purchased, such Offshore Overdraft Provider’s Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share of the Offshore Overdraft Amount being refunded shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Multicurrency Revolving Loan made by such Offshore Overdraft Provider and such portion of the Offshore Overdraft Amount deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding.
(iv) Each Offshore Borrower authorizes the Offshore Overdraft Provider to charge such Offshore Borrower’s accounts with such Offshore Overdraft Provider (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay such Offshore Overdraft Provider the amount of the Offshore Overdraft Amount to be refunded to the extent amounts received from Lenders, including amounts deemed to be received from such Offshore Overdraft Provider, are not sufficient to repay in full the Offshore Overdraft Amount to be refunded; provided that such Offshore Overdraft Provider shall give such Offshore Borrower notice of such charges prior thereto or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.
(v) Each Multicurrency Revolving Loan made in accordance with the foregoing shall be made (x) if denominated in Dollars, as a Base Rate Loan or (y) if denominated in any other Alternative Currency, as a Eurocurrency Loan. If any portion of any such amount paid to any Offshore Overdraft Provider should be recovered by or on behalf of such Offshore Borrower from such Offshore Overdraft Provider in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 4.5.
(vi) Except as provided above in this Section 2.1(e) (and, in the case of the obligation to make Multicurrency Revolving Loans, except for the satisfaction of the conditions specified in Sections 5.1 and 5.2), each Lender’s obligation to make Multicurrency Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.1(e) and the obligation of each Multicurrency Revolving Lender to purchase participations in any Offshore Overdraft Amount pursuant to this Section 2.1(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such Offshore Overdraft Provider, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (b) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default; (c) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party; (d) any breach of this Agreement by any Borrower or any other Lender; or (e) any other circumstance, happening, or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that in the event that the obligations of Lenders to make Multicurrency Revolving Loans are terminated in accordance with Article X, Multicurrency Revolving Lenders shall thereafter only be obligated to purchase participations in the relevant Offshore Overdraft Amount as provided in this Section 2.1(e). In the event that any Lender fails to make available to the relevant Administrative Agent the amount of any of such Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Loans required to be made pursuant to this Section 2.1(e) or to Administrative Agent the amount of any participations in the relevant Offshore Overdraft Amount which are required to be purchased from such Offshore Overdraft Provider by such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.1(e), such Offshore Overdraft Provider shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at the customary rate set by such Offshore Overdraft Provider for the correction of errors among banks
in the relevant jurisdiction for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this Section 2.1(e) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender to recover from any Offshore Overdraft Provider any amounts made available by such Lender to such Offshore Overdraft Provider pursuant to this Section 2.1(e) in respect of any extension of credit by such Offshore Overdraft Provider under the relevant Offshore Overdraft Agreement in the event that it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment that such extension of credit by such Offshore Overdraft Provider constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Offshore Overdraft Provider.
(vii) Any notice given by any Offshore Overdraft Provider to the relevant Lenders pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(ii) shall be concurrently given by such Offshore Overdraft Provider to Administrative Agent and the applicable Offshore Borrower or Borrowers’ Agent.
(viii) Not later than the end of the first and third week of each month, and promptly upon request by Administrative Agent, each Offshore Overdraft Provider shall deliver to Administrative Agent a written report in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent setting forth activity with respect to the applicable Offshore Overdraft Account since the last such report and the applicable Offshore Overdraft Amount outstanding as of the end of the period covered by such report.
(ix) Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, and no consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, shall modify, terminate or waive in any manner adverse to any Offshore Overdraft Provider any provision of this Section 2.1(e) or any other provision of this Agreement directly relating to the Offshore Overdraft Accounts or the Offshore Overdraft Amounts (including any provision directly relating to the repayment of the Offshore Overdraft Amounts with the proceeds of Multicurrency Revolving Loans or directly relating to the obligations of Lenders to purchase participations in the Offshore Overdraft Amounts) without the written concurrence of the applicable Offshore Overdraft Providers.
2.2 Evidence of Indebtedness; Repayment of Loans.
(a) Evidence of Indebtedness. At the request of any Lender (which request shall be made to Administrative Agent), each respective Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of and interest on all the Loans made to it by such Lender shall be evidenced, (1) if Term Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by such Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.2(a)(1) hereto, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith and (2) if Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by such Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.2(a)(2) hereto, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith.
(b) Notation of Payments. Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it, the Applicable Currency and tranche of such Loan and each payment in respect thereof and will, prior to any transfer of any of its Notes, endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation shall not affect any Borrower’s or any guarantor’s obligations hereunder or under the other applicable Loan Documents in respect of such Loans.
(c) Repayment of Loans. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders (i) in respect of Revolving Loans of such Borrower, on the applicable Revolver Termination Date (or such earlier date as, and to the extent that, such Revolving Loan becomes due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan made to it by each such
Revolving Lender, in the Applicable Currency and (ii) in respect of Term Loans of such Borrower under a particular Term Facility, on the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date (or such earlier date as, and to the extent that, such Term Facility becomes due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), the unpaid principal amount of each Term Loan made to it under such Term Facility by each such Term Loan Lender, in the applicable Currency. Each Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest in immediately available funds (in the Applicable Currency) at the applicable Payment Office on the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Term Loans made to it from time to time from the Closing Date until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 3.1.
2.3 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing; Maximum Number of Borrowings. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing by any Borrower hereunder shall be not less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount and, if greater, shall be in Minimum Borrowing Multiples above such minimum (or, if less, the then Total Available Dollar Revolving Commitment or the Total Available Multicurrency Revolving Commitment). More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any date, provided that at no time shall there be outstanding more than (i) six (6) Borrowings of Eurocurrency Loans with weekly Interest Periods in the aggregate by any Borrower (other than Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx or any Additional Domestic Subsidiary Borrower) nor more than one (1) Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans with a weekly Interest Period by Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx or any Additional Domestic Subsidiary Borrower nor (ii) unless approved by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, twenty-five (25) Borrowings of Eurocurrency Loans at any time.
2.4 Borrowing Options. The Term Loans and the Revolving Loans shall, at the option of the applicable Borrower except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, be (i) Base Rate Loans, (ii) Eurocurrency Loans, or (iii) part Base Rate Loans and part Eurocurrency Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Base Rate Loans may only be incurred with respect to Loans denominated in Dollars, and the Term Loans and Revolving Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies shall be Eurocurrency Loans. Any Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its commitment by causing a foreign branch or affiliate with reasonable and appropriate capacities to fund the applicable currency and without any increased cost to Borrowers to make or continue any Loan, provided that in such event the funding of that Lender’s Loan shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, be considered to be the obligations of or to have been made by that Lender and the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay that Lender’s Loan shall nevertheless be to that Lender and shall be deemed held by that Lender, for the account of such branch or affiliate.
2.5 Notice of Borrowing. Whenever any Borrower desires to make a Borrowing of any Loan hereunder, it shall give Administrative Agent at its Notice Address (i) in the case of Dollar denominated Loans, at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing), given not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time), of each Base Rate Loan, and at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) given not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time), of each Eurocurrency Loan to be made hereunder, (ii) in the case of Alternative Currency Loans (other than ADollar denominated Loans), at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) given not later than 12:00 p.m. (London time); or (iii) in the case of ADollar Loans, at least four Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) given not later than 12:00 p.m. (Melbourne, Australia time); provided, however, that a Notice of Borrowing with respect to Borrowings to be made on the Closing Date may, at the discretion of Administrative Agent, be delivered later than the time specified above but no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to the Closing Date. Each such notice (each a “Notice of Borrowing”), which shall be in the form of Exhibit 2.5 hereto, shall be irrevocable, shall be deemed a representation by such Borrower that all conditions precedent to such Borrowing have been satisfied and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the
Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing stated in the relevant currency, (ii) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the Facility under which the Loans being made pursuant to such Borrowing are to be Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans, Tranche C Term Loans, Dollar Revolving Loans or Multicurrency Revolving Loans, as applicable, (iv) whether such Loans are to be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans and (v) with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, the Interest Period and Applicable Currency to be applicable thereto. Administrative Agent shall as promptly as practicable give each Lender that would be required to fund a portion of a proposed Borrowing written or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) of such proposed Borrowing, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof and of the other matters covered by the Notice of Borrowing. Without in any way limiting any Borrower’s obligation to confirm in writing any telephonic notice, Administrative Agent or the respective Issuing Lender (in the case of Letters of Credit) may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice believed by Administrative Agent in good faith to be from a Responsible Officer of such Borrower prior to receipt of written confirmation. Administrative Agent’s records shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on each Borrower with respect to evidence of the terms of such telephonic Notice of Borrowing. Each Borrower hereby agrees not to dispute Administrative Agent’s or such Issuing Lender’s record of the time of telephonic notice.
2.6 Public Offer.
(a) Arrangers’ Representations, Warranties and Undertakings. The Arrangers undertake, represent and warrant to ACI as follows:
(i) on behalf of ACI, the Arrangers have made invitations (in the form of a Confidential Information Memorandum and Lender Presentation) to become a Lender under the Tranche B Term Loan Facility and the Multicurrency Revolving Facility to at least ten parties, each of whom, as at the date the relevant invitation is made, the Arrangers’ relevant officers involved in the transaction contemplated by this Agreement on a day-to-day basis believe carries on the business of providing finance or investing or dealing in securities in the course of operating in financial markets for the purposes of Section 128F(3A)(a)(i) of the Tax Act;
(ii) at least 10 of the parties to whom the Arrangers have made invitations referred to in clause (i) above are not, as at the date the invitations are made, to the knowledge of the relevant officers of the Arrangers involved in the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, Associates of any of those 10 offerees or the Arrangers; and
(iii) the Arrangers have not made and will not make offers or invitations referred to in clause (i) to parties whom its relevant officers involved in the transaction contemplated by this Agreement on a day-to-day basis are aware are Offshore Associates of ACI.
(b) Lender’s Representations and Warranties. Each Person that is a Lender under the Tranche B Term Loan Facility and/or the Multicurrency Revolving Facility as of the Closing Date represents and warrants to ACI that if it received an invitation to become a Lender under the Tranche B Term Loan Facility and/or the Multicurrency Revolving Facility, at the time it received such invitation it was carrying on the business of providing finance, or investing or dealing in securities, in the course of operating in financial markets.
(c) Information. Each Arranger, and each Lender under the Tranche B Term Loan Facility and/or Multicurrency Revolving Facility, agrees to provide to ACI when reasonably requested by ACI any factual information in its possession or which it is reasonably able to provide
to assist ACI to demonstrate (based upon tax advice received by ACI) that Section 128F of the Tax Act has been satisfied with respect to the Tranche B Term Loan Facility and/or the Multicurrency Revolving Facility where to do so will not in such Arranger’s or Lender’s reasonable opinion breach any law or regulation or any duty of confidence.
(d) Co-Operation if Section 128F requirements not satisfied. If, for any reason, the requirements of Section 128F of the Tax Act have not been satisfied in relation to interest payable on Loans by ACI (except to an Offshore Associate of ACI), then on request by the Agent, an Arranger or ACI, each party shall co-operate and take steps reasonably requested with a view to satisfying those requirements.
(e) Certain Tax Provisions. Non-compliance by any Lender with this Section 2.6 will not relieve ACI of its obligations under Section 4.7(a).
2.7 Conversion or Continuation. Any Borrower may elect (i) on any Business Day to convert Base Rate Loans or any portion thereof to Eurocurrency Loans and (ii) at the end of any Interest Period with respect thereto, to convert Loans denominated in Dollars that are Eurocurrency Loans or any portion thereof into Base Rate Loans or to continue such Eurocurrency Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period and (iii) at the end of any Interest Period with respect thereto, to continue Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans for each Interest Period therefor must be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Minimum Borrowing Amount for Eurocurrency Loans or Minimum Borrowing Multiples in excess thereof. Each conversion or continuation of Loans of a Facility shall be allocated among the Loans of the Lenders in such Facility in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.7 hereto (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) and shall be made by giving Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior written notice thereof to the Notice Address given not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) (12:00 p.m. London time in the case of a continuation of an Alternative Currency Loan) specifying (i) the amount and type of conversion or continuation, (ii) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of Eurocurrency Loans, the Interest Period therefor, and (iii) in the case of a conversion, the date of conversion (which date shall be a Business Day). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Loans, and no continuation in whole or in part of Eurocurrency Loans other than Loans denominated in Alternative Currencies, shall be permitted at any time at which an Unmatured Event of Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Borrowers shall not be entitled to specify an Interest Period in excess of one month for any Alternative Currency Loan if an Unmatured Event of Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.7, Administrative Agent does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the applicable Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any Eurocurrency Loans for an additional Interest Period or to convert any such Loans, then, upon the expiration of the Interest Period therefor, such Loans will be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans or, in the case of an Alternative Currency Loan, Eurocurrency Loans in the same Applicable Currency with an Interest Period of one month. Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable.
2.8 Disbursement of Funds. No later than 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each applicable Lender will make available its Pro Rata Share of Loans, of the Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the Applicable Currency and in immediately available funds, at the Payment Office (for the account of such non-U.S. office of Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent may direct in the case of Eurocurrency Loans) and Administrative Agent will make available to the applicable Borrower at its Payment Office the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York
time). Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of the Borrowing to be made on such date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender on the date of Borrowing, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and, if so notified, the applicable Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the applicable Borrower interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by Administrative Agent to the applicable Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the rate for Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as the case may be, applicable during the period in question; provided, however, that any interest paid to Administrative Agent in respect of such corresponding amount shall be credited against interest payable by Borrower to such Lender under Section 3.1 in respect of such corresponding amount. Any amount due hereunder to Administrative Agent from any Lender which is not paid when due shall bear interest payable by such Lender, from the date due until the date paid, at the Federal Funds Rate for amounts in Dollars (and, at Administrative Agent’s cost of funds for amounts in any Alternative Currency) for the first three days after the date such amount is due and thereafter at the Federal Funds Rate (or such cost of funds rate) plus 1%, together with Administrative Agent’s standard interbank processing fee. Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans, amounts due with respect to its Letters of Credit (or its participations therein) and any other amounts due to it hereunder first to Administrative Agent to fund any outstanding Loans made available on behalf of such Lender by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.8 until such Loans have been funded (as a result of such assignment or otherwise) and then to fund Loans of all Lenders other than such Lender until each Lender has outstanding Loans equal to its Pro Rata Share of all Loans (as a result of such assignment or otherwise). Such Lender shall not have recourse against such Borrower with respect to any amounts paid to Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the preceding sentence, provided that, such Lender shall have full recourse against such Borrower to the extent of the amount of such Loans it has so been deemed to have made. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights which such Borrower may have against the Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
2.9 Utilization of Revolving Commitments in an Alternative Currency.
(a) Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent amount with respect to any (i) Credit Event comprised of a borrowing of Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency as of the requested Credit Event date, (ii) outstanding Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency as of the last Business Day of each Interest Period for such Loan, (iii) Multicurrency Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, as of each Determination Date, (iv) outstanding Revolving Loans and Unpaid Drawings denominated in an Alternative Currency as of any redenomination date pursuant to this Agreement, and (v) the Offshore Overdraft Amount as of receipt of any notice with regard to any Overdraft Agreement (other than the Domestic Overdraft Agreement) pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(viii) (each such date under clauses (i) through (v) a “Computation Date”). Upon receipt of any Notice of Borrowing, with respect to any
Revolving Loans, Administrative Agent shall, as promptly as practicable, notify each applicable Revolving Lender thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Revolver Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing. In the case of a Borrowing comprised of Revolving Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency, such notice will provide the approximate amount of each Lender’s Revolver Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, and Administrative Agent will, upon the determination of the Dollar Equivalent amount of the Borrowing as specified in the Notice of Borrowing, promptly notify each Lender of the exact amount of such Lender’s Revolver Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing.
(b) A Borrower shall be entitled to request that Multicurrency Revolving Loans hereunder also be permitted to be made in any other lawful currency constituting a eurocurrency (other than Dollars), in addition to the eurocurrencies specified in the definition of “Alternative Currency” herein, that in the reasonable opinion of each of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders is at such time freely traded in the offshore interbank foreign exchange markets and is freely transferable and freely convertible into Dollars (an “Agreed Alternative Currency”). The applicable Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent any request for designation of an Agreed Alternative Currency in accordance with Section 12.3, to be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least ten (10) Business Days in advance of the date of any Borrowing hereunder proposed to be made in such Agreed Alternative Currency. Upon receipt of any such request Administrative Agent will promptly notify the applicable Multicurrency Revolving Lenders thereof, and each applicable Multicurrency Revolving Lender will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to such request within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof. Each Multicurrency Revolving Lender may grant or accept such request in its sole discretion. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrowers’ Agent of the acceptance or rejection of any such request.
(c) In the case of a proposed Borrowing comprised of Multicurrency Revolving Loans denominated in an Agreed Alternative Currency, the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders shall be under no obligation to make such Loans in the requested Agreed Alternative Currency as part of such Borrowing if Administrative Agent has received notice from any of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) three (3) Business Days prior to the day of such Borrowing that such Lender cannot provide Loans in the requested Agreed Alternative Currency (or if any Multicurrency Revolving Lender has failed to respond to a request for an Agreed Alternative Currency pursuant to clause (b) above), in which event Administrative Agent will give notice to Borrowers’ Agent no later than 9:00 a.m. (London time) on the second Business Day prior to the requested date of such Borrowing that the Borrowing in the requested Agreed Alternative Currency is not then available, and notice thereof also will be given promptly by Administrative Agent to the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders. If Administrative Agent shall have so notified Borrowers’ Agent that any such Borrowing in a requested Agreed Alternative Currency is not then available, the applicable Borrower may, by notice to Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (London time) two (2) Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, withdraw the Notice of Borrowing relating to such requested Borrowing. If a Borrower does so withdraw such Notice of Borrowing, the Borrowing requested therein shall not occur and Administrative Agent will promptly so notify each Multicurrency Revolving Lender. If such Borrower does not so withdraw such Notice of Borrowing, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify each Multicurrency Revolving Lender and such Notice of Borrowing shall be deemed to be a Notice of Borrowing that requests a Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the originally requested Borrowing in the Notice of Borrowing; and in such notice by Administrative Agent to each Lender will state such aggregate amount of such Borrowing in Dollars and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof.
(d) In the case of a proposed continuation of Revolving Loans denominated in an Agreed Alternative Currency for an additional Interest Period pursuant to Section 2.7, the
Multicurrency Revolving Lenders shall be under no obligation to continue such Loans if Administrative Agent has received notice from any of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) four (4) Business Days prior to the day of such continuation that such Lender cannot continue to provide Loans in the Agreed Alternative Currency, in which event Administrative Agent will give notice to Borrowers’ Agent not later than 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the requested date of such continuation that the continuation of such Loans in the Agreed Alternative Currency is not then available, and notice thereof also will be given promptly by Administrative Agent to the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders. If Administrative Agent shall have so notified Borrowers’ Agent that any such continuation of Loans is not then available, any Notice of Continuation/Conversion with respect thereto shall be deemed withdrawn and such Loans shall be redenominated into Base Rate Loans in Dollars with effect from the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such Loans. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrowers’ Agent and the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders of any such redenomination and in such notice by Administrative Agent to each Lender will state the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of the redenominated Alternative Currency Loans as of the Computation Date with respect thereto and such Lender’s Revolver Pro Rata Share thereof.
2.10 Additional Facility.
(a) Any Borrower (other than OI Europe or O-I Canada) shall have the right at any time (so long as (x) no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default then exists; provided, that, in the case of Additional Facilities (as defined below) incurred to consummate an Acquisition permitted pursuant to Section 8.3, no Event of Default under Section 10.1(a) or Section 10.1(i) then exists and (y) Company shall have delivered to Administrative Agent a Compliance Certificate for the period of four (4) full Fiscal Quarters immediately preceding the incurrence described below (prepared in good faith and in a manner and using such methodology which is consistent with the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1) giving pro forma effect to such incurrence and the application of the proceeds thereof (excluding the cash proceeds of such incurrence and, with respect to any Additional Revolving Commitment, assuming a borrowing of the maximum amount of Loans available thereunder) and evidencing compliance with the covenant set forth in Article IX); provided, that, in the case of Additional Facilities (as defined below) incurred to consummate an Acquisition permitted pursuant to Section 8.3, such Compliance Certificate may, at Company’s election, be delivered at the time of entry into definitive documentation for an Acquisition permitted pursuant to Section 8.3 evidencing compliance with the covenant set forth in Article IX (on a Pro Forma Basis giving pro forma effect to such incurrence and the application of the proceeds thereof (excluding the cash proceeds of such incurrence and, with respect to any Additional Revolving Commitment, assuming a borrowing of the maximum amount of Loans available thereunder)) as of the last day of the Fiscal Quarter immediately preceding the entry into such definitive documentation, and from time to time after the Closing Date to incur from one or more existing Lenders and/or other Persons that are Eligible Assignees and which, in each case, agree to make such commitments and loans to such Borrower, in Dollars or in an Alternative Currency, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed an amount equal to the sum of (A)(i) $1,250,000,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof in an Alternative Currency at the time of funding) minus (ii) the total amount of Accordion-Reducing Permitted Secured Debt incurred through such date plus (B) the amount of any optional prepayment of any Loan, including any Loan under any Additional Facility (other than, in each case, incurred pursuant to clause (C) below) (accompanied, to the extent such prepayments are of Loans under any Revolving Facility and/or any Additional Revolving Commitments, by a permanent commitment reduction in the like amount under such Revolving Facility and/or Additional Revolving Commitments) so long as, in the case of any such optional
prepayment, such prepayment was not funded with the proceeds of a contemporaneous refinancing with new long-term Indebtedness plus (C) an amount such that, at the time of the incurrence of the applicable Additional Facility (after giving effect to the full utilization of the applicable Additional Facility and the application of the proceeds thereof, excluding the cash proceeds of such incurrence) the Secured Leverage Ratio (calculated as though the total amount of Accordion-Reducing Permitted Secured Debt incurred through such date was outstanding on such date) does not exceed 2.00:1.00 (such amount, the “Incremental Cap”) (it being acknowledged that each Additional Facility under this Section shall be incurred under clause (C) if clause (C) is available at the time of such incurrence up to the maximum amount available, and any additional amounts incurred at any time that clause (C) is unavailable shall be incurred under clauses (A) and/or (B), and any simultaneous incurrence under clauses (A) and/or (B) shall not be given pro forma effect for purposes of determining the Secured Leverage Ratio with respect to any incurrence under clause (C)), which may be incurred as (i) commitments to increase any tranche of Revolving Commitments (“Additional Revolving Commitments”), (ii) one or more tranches of additional term loans substantially similar to the Term Loans of a particular Term Facility (the “Additional Term Loans”) that are pari passu in all respects to the Term Loans made under such Term Facility that would provide that the Additional Term Loans would have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity of not less than the Term Loans with the then longest Weighted Average Life to Maturity and a final maturity date no earlier than the latest Term Loan Maturity Date and/or (iii) increases to one or more existing Term Facilities (collectively, “Additional Facilities”); provided, that no Additional Term Loans, Additional Revolving Commitments or Additional Facilities shall be guaranteed by entities other than the Loan Parties (other than OI Europe) and the terms and conditions of any Additional Term Loans shall be substantially similar to those applicable to the existing Term Facilities (other than as to pricing, fees and other economic terms, and provided, that the applicable Borrower shall have the right to unilaterally provide the existing Term Loan Lenders with additional rights and benefits (such rights and benefits “Additional Incremental Rights”) and the “substantially similar” requirement of this proviso and compliance therewith shall be determined after giving effect to such additional rights and benefits); provided further, that any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Additional Facilities may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Additional Facilities.
(b) In the event that a Borrower desires to create an Additional Facility or Additional Revolving Commitments, such Borrower will enter into an amendment with the lenders (who shall by execution thereof become Lenders hereunder if not theretofore Lenders) to provide for such Additional Facility or Additional Revolving Commitments, which amendment shall set forth any terms and conditions of the Additional Facility or Additional Revolving Commitments not covered by this Agreement as agreed by the applicable Borrower and such Lenders, and shall provide for the issuance of promissory notes to evidence the Additional Facility or Additional Revolving Commitments if requested by the Lenders making advances under the Additional Facility or providing Additional Revolving Commitments (which notes shall constitute Notes for purposes of this Agreement), with such amendment to be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent to the extent the terms thereof are inconsistent with the terms of this Section 2.10(b) and of the other provisions of this Agreement. In addition, any Lenders providing commitments or Term Loans under any Additional Facility or Additional Revolving Commitment shall become bound by the Re-Allocation Agreement in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders and Issuing Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into any amendment or supplement to the Re-Allocation Agreement as the Administrative Agent deems necessary or appropriate in order to give effect to the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no consent of any Lender (other than any Lender making loans or whose commitment is increased under the Additional Facility or Additional
Revolving Commitments) is required to permit the Loans or commitments contemplated by this Section 2.10(b) or the aforesaid amendment to effectuate the Additional Facility or Additional Revolving Commitments. No Lender shall have any obligation, whether express or implied, to commit to provide any Additional Facility or Additional Revolving Commitments.
(c) On the effective date of any Additional Revolving Commitments, the participations held by the Revolving Lenders in the LC Obligations, with respect to the applicable tranche of Revolving Commitments immediately prior to such increase will be reallocated so as to be held by the Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment percentages after giving effect to such Additional Revolving Commitments. If, on the date of an Additional Revolving Commitment, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding under the applicable tranche of the Revolving Commitments, the applicable Borrowers shall prepay such Revolving Loans in accordance with this Agreement on the date of effectiveness of such Additional Revolving Commitment (but the applicable Borrowers may finance such prepayment with a concurrent borrowing of Revolving Loans under the applicable tranche of the Revolving Commitments from the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their Revolver Pro Rata Share after giving effect to such Additional Revolving Commitment).
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10(a), (b) or (c) or any other provision of any Loan Document:
(i) If the proceeds of any Additional Facility are intended to be applied to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, (A) the requirements of clause (x) of Section 2.10(a) above shall, at the election of Company, be determined as of the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into, (B) the representations and warranties required to be made in connection with the initial Loans made under such Additional Facility pursuant to Section 5.2(b)(i) shall, at the election of Company, be limited to the Specified Representations and (C) to the extent that such Additional Facilities are to be incurred in reliance on clause (C) of Section 2.10(a) above, the Secured Leverage Ratio test specified therein shall, at the election of Company, be determined as of the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into.
(ii) If Company has made an election under clause (i)(C) of this Section 2.10(d) for any Limited Condition Acquisition permitted pursuant to Section 8.3, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments, mergers, dispositions, Investments, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Subordinated Debt, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant date of determination and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated except to the extent such calculation on a Pro Forma Basis would result in a lower ratio than if calculated without giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions in connection therewith.

Each such notice shall specify (A) the proposed issuance date and expiration date, (B) the name(s) of each obligor with respect to such Letter of Credit, (C) the applicable Borrower as the account party, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary (which Person shall be acceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender), (E) the Stated Amount in Dollars or, if applicable, the Alternative Currency, of such proposed Letter of Credit, (F) whether such Letter of Credit is to be a Standby Letter of Credit or Commercial Letter of Credit and (G) the purpose of such Letter of Credit, which must be a purpose permitted by Section 2.11(a) and such other information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. In addition, each Letter of Credit request shall contain a general description of the terms and conditions to be included in such proposed Letter of Credit (all of which terms and conditions shall be acceptable to the respective Issuing Lender). Unless otherwise specified, all Letters of Credit will be governed by the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credit Operations as in effect on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Notice of Issuance shall include any other documents as the respective Issuing Lender customarily requires in connection therewith. From time to time while a Letter of Credit is outstanding and

Each such request for amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be made by facsimile, confirmed promptly in an original writing (each a “Letter of Credit Amendment Request”) and shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender: (i) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (ii) the proposed date of amendment of the Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (iv) such other matters as the Issuing Lender may require. The Issuing Lender shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if: (A) the Issuing Lender would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms of this Agreement, or (B) the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit. In the case of Standby Letters of Credit, each Issuing Lender shall, promptly after the issuance of or amendment or modification to such a Letter of Credit, give Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower written notice of the issuance, amendment or modification of such Letter of Credit, accompanied by a copy of such issuance, amendment or modification. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, Administrative Agent shall give each Multicurrency Revolving Lender or Dollar Revolving Lender, as applicable, written notice of such issuance, amendment or modification, and if so requested by any such Lender, Administrative Agent shall provide such Lender with copies of such issuance, amendment or modification. As to any Letters of Credit issued by an Issuing Lender other than DB, the respective Issuing Lender shall furnish to Administrative Agent, on the first Business Day of each week, by facsimile a report detailing the aggregate daily total outstanding Commercial Letters of Credit for such Issuing Lender during the prior week.
(d) Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Payments.
(i) The applicable Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the respective Issuing Lender, by making payment to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds in Dollars at the Payment Office, for the Dollar Equivalent of any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under and in accordance with any Letter of Credit (each such amount so paid or disbursed until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”), no later than one Business Day after the date on which such Borrower receives notice of such payment or disbursement (if such Unpaid Drawing was in an Alternative Currency, then in the Dollar Equivalent amount of such Unpaid Drawing), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (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 is reimbursed therefor by such Borrower at a rate per annum which shall be the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin for Revolving Loans with respect to Multicurrency Letters of Credit in Dollars, provided, however, that, anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless such Borrower shall have notified Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following receipt of such notice that the applicable Issuing Lender will be reimbursed for the amount of such Unpaid Drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans such Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent requesting each Multicurrency Revolving Lender or Dollar Revolving Lender, as applicable, to make Multicurrency Revolving Loans or Dollar Revolving Loans, as applicable, which are Base Rate Loans, on the date on which such Unpaid Drawing is honored in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such Unpaid Drawing and Administrative Agent shall, if such Notice of Borrowing is deemed given, promptly notify the
applicable Lenders thereof and (ii) unless any of the events described in Section 10.1(i) shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of Section 2.11(e) shall apply), each such Multicurrency Revolving Lender or Dollar Revolving Lender, as applicable, shall, on the date such drawing is honored, make Multicurrency Revolving Loans or Dollar Revolving Loans, as applicable, which are Base Rate Loans in the amount of its Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share or Dollar Revolver Pro Rata Share of the Dollar Equivalent of such Unpaid Drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for the amount of such Unpaid Drawing; and provided, further, that, if for any reason, proceeds of Multicurrency Revolving Loans or Dollar Revolving Loans are not received by the applicable Issuing Lender on such date in an amount equal to the amount of the Dollar Equivalent of such drawing, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender, on the Business Day immediately following the date such drawing is honored, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of the Dollar Equivalent of such drawing over the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of such Multicurrency Revolving Loans or Dollar Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received, plus accrued interest on such amount at the rate set forth in Section 3.1(a) or (g), as applicable; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day following such payment or disbursement, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by the applicable Borrower) at a rate per annum which shall be the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin (plus an additional 2% per annum), such interest also to be payable on demand. The respective Issuing Lender shall give the applicable Borrower prompt notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit, provided that the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish any Loan Party’s obligations hereunder.
(ii) The obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.11(d) to reimburse the respective Issuing Lender with respect to drawings on Letters of Credit (each, a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which such Borrower may have or have had against any Issuing Lender, Agent or any Lender (including in its capacity as issuer of the Letter of Credit or as LC Participant), or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing, the respective Issuing Lender’s only obligation to Borrowers being to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to any Borrower or any other Loan Party.
(e) Letter of Credit Participations. Immediately upon the issuance by any Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to (i) each Multicurrency Revolving Lender with respect to each Multicurrency Letter of Credit and (ii) each Dollar Revolving Lender with respect to each Dollar Letter of Credit, in each case, other than such Issuing Lender (each such Lender, in its capacity under this Section 2.11(e), an “LC Participant”), and each such LC Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Revolving Lender’s Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share (with respect to Multicurrency Letters of Credit) and such Dollar Revolver Lender’s Dollar Revolver Pro Rata Share (with respect to Dollar Letters of Credit), as the case may be, in such Letter of Credit, each substitute Letter of Credit, each Drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement with respect thereto (although Letter of
Credit fees shall be payable directly to Administrative Agent for the account of the LC Participant as provided in Section 2.11(g) and the LC Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of the issuing fees), and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders or the Dollar Revolving Commitments of the Dollar Revolving Lenders, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating to Letters of Credit, there shall be an automatic adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.11(e) to reflect the new Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share or Dollar Revolver Pro Rata Share, as the case may be, of the assignor and assignee Lender or of all Lenders with Multicurrency Revolving Commitments or Dollar Revolving Commitments, as the case may be. In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall have no obligation relative to the LC Participants other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to any Loan Party or any Lender.
(f) Draws Upon Letter of Credit; Reimbursement Obligations. In the event that any Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the applicable Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(d), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each LC Participant of such failure, and each such LC Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender, the amount of such LC Participant’s applicable Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share or Dollar Revolver Pro Rata Share, as the case may be, of such payment in Dollars or, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, in such Alternative Currency and in same day funds; provided, however, that no LC Participant shall be obligated to pay to Administrative Agent its applicable Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share or Dollar Revolver Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed amount for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction on the part of such Issuing Lender. If Administrative Agent so notifies any LC Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) or, in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, 11:00 a.m. (London time) on any Business Day, such LC Participant shall make available to Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Issuing Lender such LC Participant’s applicable Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share or Dollar Revolver Pro Rata Share, as the case may be, of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such LC Participant shall not have so made its applicable Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share or Dollar Revolver Pro Rata Share, as the case may be, of the amount of such payment available to Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Issuing Lender, such LC Participant agrees to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender at the Federal Funds Rate. The failure of any LC Participant to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of the respective Issuing Lender its applicable Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share or Dollar Revolver Pro Rata Share, as the case may be, of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not relieve any other LC Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender its applicable Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share
or Dollar Revolver Pro Rata Share, as the case may be, of any payment under any such Letter of Credit on the day required, as specified above, but no LC Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other LC Participant to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender such other LC Participant’s applicable Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share or Dollar Revolver Pro Rata Share, as the case may be, of any such payment.
(i) Whenever any Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuing Lender any payments from the LC Participants pursuant to this Section 2.11(f), such Issuing Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent shall pay to each LC Participant which has paid its Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share or Dollar Revolver Pro Rata Share, as the case may be, thereof, in Dollars or, if in an Alternative Currency, in such Alternative Currency and in same day funds, an amount equal to such LC Participant’s Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share or Dollar Revolver Pro Rata Share, as the case may be, of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.
(ii) The obligations of the LC Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:
(A) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;
(B) The existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), Administrative Agent, any LC Participant, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between Company or any of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);
(C) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect to any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;
(D) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; or
(E) the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default.
(g) Fees for Letters of Credit.
(i) Issuing Lender Fees. The applicable Borrower agrees to pay the following amount to the respective Issuing Lender with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by it for the account of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries:
(A) with respect to payments made under any Letter of Credit, interest, payable on demand, on the amount paid by such Issuing Lender in respect of each such payment from the date of the payments through the date such amount is reimbursed by such Borrower (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.11(c)) at a rate determined in accordance with the terms of Section 2.11(d)(i);
(B) with respect to the issuance or amendment of each Letter of Credit and each payment made thereunder, documentary and processing charges in accordance with Issuing Lender’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be; and
(C) an issuing fee equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum of the Stated Amount outstanding and undrawn LC Obligations payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Revolver Termination Date and thereafter, on demand together with customary issuance and payment charges.
(ii) Participating Lender Fees. Each Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent in the currency in which such Letter of Credit is denominated for distribution to each LC Participant (A) in respect of all Multicurrency Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower outstanding such Lender’s Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share of a commission equal to the then Applicable Eurocurrency Margin for Multicurrency Revolving Loans with respect to the Effective Amount under such outstanding Letters of Credit (the “Multicurrency LC Commission”) payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, on the Revolver Termination Date for the Multicurrency Revolving Facility and thereafter, on demand and (B) in respect of all Dollar Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower outstanding such Lender’s Dollar Revolver Pro Rata Share of a commission equal to the then Applicable Eurocurrency Margin for Dollar Revolving Loans with respect to the amount outstanding under such Letters of Credit (the “Dollar LC Commission”) payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, on the Revolver Termination Date and thereafter, on demand. Each of the Multicurrency LC Commission and the Dollar LC Commission shall be computed on a daily basis from the first day of issuance of each Letter of Credit and on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days.
Promptly upon receipt by the respective Issuing Lender or Administrative Agent of any amount described in clause (i)(A) or (ii) of this Section 2.11(g), such Issuing Lender or Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Lender that has reimbursed such Issuing Lender in accordance with Section 2.11(d) its Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share or Dollar Revolver Pro Rata Share of such amount. Amounts payable under clause (i)(B) and (C) of this Section 2.11(g) shall be paid directly to such Issuing Lender.
(h) Indemnification. In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and hold each Issuing Lender harmless, on an after-Tax basis, from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which any Issuing Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of the Letters of Credit, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to such Issuing Lender or (ii) the failure of the applicable Issuing Lender to honor a Drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Government Acts”), provided that OI Europe shall only be responsible to so indemnify with respect to Letters of Credit issued for its own account. As between any Borrower and each Issuing Lender, such Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, no Issuing Lender shall be responsible: (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any Drawing under such Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning
or purporting to transfer or assign any such 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; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a Drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any Drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Lender, including, without limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of the applicable Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.11(h) shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.
In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, and in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not put any Issuing Lender under any resulting liability to any Borrower or any other Loan Party.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Borrower shall have any obligation to indemnify any Issuing Lender in respect of any liability incurred by such Issuing Lender to the extent arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction. The right of indemnification in the first paragraph of this Section 2.11(h) shall not prejudice any rights that any Borrower may otherwise have against each Issuing Lender with respect to a Letter of Credit issued hereunder.
(i) Increased Costs. If at any time after the Closing Date any Change in Law shall (i) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy, or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Issuing Lender or participated in by any Lender, (ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or (iii) impose on any Issuing Lender or any Lender any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender or any Lender or any such other Recipient of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Issuing Lender, or Lender or other Recipient hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit, then, upon demand to the applicable Borrower by the respective Issuing Lender, Lender or other Recipient (a copy of which demand shall be sent by such Issuing Lender, Lender or other Recipient to Administrative Agent), the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Issuing Lender, Lender or other Recipient such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Lender, Lender or other Recipient for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital. Each Recipient, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.11(i), will give prompt written notice thereof to the applicable Borrower, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the applicable Borrower by the respective Recipient (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Recipient to Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Recipient, although failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any Loan Party’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11(i). The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 2.11(i) shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding on the Loan Parties.
(j) Existing Letters of Credit. The letters of credit set forth under the caption “Letters of Credit Outstanding on the Closing Date” on Schedule 2.11(j) annexed hereto and made a part hereof which were issued pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement and which remain outstanding as of the Closing Date are referred to as the “Existing Letters of Credit”. Each Borrower, each Issuing Lender and each of the Lenders hereby agree with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit that such Existing Letters of Credit, for all purposes under this Agreement shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit (as indicated on Schedule 2.11(j)), governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Lender agrees to participate in each Existing Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender in an amount equal to its Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share or Dollar Revolver Pro Rata Share, as the case may be, of the Stated Amount of such Existing Letter of Credit.
(k) Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Commitments. If the expiration date with respect to Letters of Credit in respect of a particular Revolving Facility occurs prior to the expiry date of any Letter of Credit issued under such Revolving Facility, then, at the Company’s option, (i) if one or more classes of Extended Revolving Commitments in respect of which the expiration date applicable to Letters of Credit issued thereunder shall not have so occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall, to the extent such Letters of Credit could have been issued under such other class or classes of Extended Revolving Commitments in accordance with the terms of this Agreement at such time, automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the applicable Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Loans and fund participations in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 2.11(d) and (f)) under (and ratably participated in by the applicable Lenders pursuant to) the Commitments in respect of such non-terminating class or classes of Extended Revolving Commitments up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and subject to the other applicable requirements of this Section 2.11 and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), the Company shall cash collateralize any such Letter of Credit on terms reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Lenders. The sublimit for Letters of Credit under a Revolver Extension Series shall be agreed solely with each Issuing Lender and set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment.
2.12 Pro Rata Borrowings. Borrowings of Loans under this Agreement shall be loaned by the applicable Lenders pro rata on the basis of their applicable Commitments under the applicable Facility. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its Commitments hereunder.
2.13 Defaulting Lenders.
(a) Reallocation of Defaulting Lender Commitment, Etc. If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure and any outstanding obligations under Sections 2.1(d) and 2.1(e) regarding Overdraft Amounts of such Defaulting Lender:
(i) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Letter of Credit Exposure and obligations under Sections 2.1(d) and 2.1(e) regarding Overdraft Amounts
of such Defaulting Lender will, subject to the limitation in the proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments under the applicable Revolving Facility; provided that (a) after giving effect to such reallocation, (x) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s total of the Revolving Credit Exposure may not in any event exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation, (y) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s total of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Exposure may not in any event exceed the Multicurrency Revolving Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (z) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s total of the Dollar Revolving Credit Exposure may not in any event exceed the Dollar Revolving Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (b) subject to Section 12.20, neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Overdraft Providers or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender; and
(ii) to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure and obligations under Sections 2.1(d) and 2.1(e) regarding Overdraft Amounts cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the applicable Borrower will, not later than two Business Days after demand by Administrative Agent (at the direction of any Issuing Lender and/or any Overdraft Provider, as the case may be), (a) cash collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to the Issuing Lenders and the Overdraft Providers in respect of such Letter of Credit Exposure and the obligations under Sections 2.1(d) and 2.1(e) regarding Overdraft Amounts of such Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such Letter of Credit Exposure and obligations under Sections 2.1(d) and 2.1(e) regarding Overdraft Amounts or (b) in the case of such obligations under Sections 2.1(d) and 2.1(e) regarding Overdraft Amounts, prepay in full the unreallocated portion of the obligations under Sections 2.1(d) and 2.1(e) regarding Overdraft Amounts of such Defaulting Lender.
(b) Fees.
(i) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any Commitment Fee accruing during such period pursuant to Section 3.2(b) and the Borrowers shall no longer be required to pay the portion of the Commitment Fee accruing during such period that would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender.
(ii) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any Letter of Credit fees accruing during such period (without prejudice to the rights of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees to the extent provided herein); provided that (x) to the extent that all or a portion of the Letter of Credit Exposure of a Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13(a)(i), such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments, and (y) to the extent any portion of such Letter of Credit Exposure cannot be so reallocated, such Letter of Credit fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the Issuing Lenders based on their pro rata share of the undrawn face amount of Letters of Credit outstanding; provided that if at any time and so long as the Borrowers shall have cash collateralized Letter of Credit Exposure of a Defaulting Lender as required pursuant to Section 2.13(a)(ii), then the Borrower shall no longer be required to
pay Letter of Credit fees in respect of such cash collateralized amounts in respect of the Letter of Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender.
(c) Termination of Defaulting Lender Commitment. So long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers may terminate the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof); provided that (i) prior to any such termination, the Borrower shall have repaid in full all outstanding Revolving Loans (without any reduction of the Revolving Commitments) and all accrued but unpaid interest and fees hereunder owing to all Lenders and (ii) such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Overdraft Providers or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender; provided further that in the case of the termination of a Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment, if such Defaulting Lender is a Issuing Lender with one or more outstanding Letters of Credit, then the Borrowers shall be required to fully cash collateralize such Letters of Credit.
(d) Reallocation of Payments. If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, except in connection with a termination of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.13(c) above, any amount paid by the Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest-bearing account until (subject to Section 2.13(e)) the earlier of (x) termination of the applicable Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrowers under such Revolving Facility and (y) the Revolver Termination Date applicable to such Defaulting Lender and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrowers under such Revolving Facility to all Lenders owing on such Revolver Termination Date and will be applied by Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lenders or the Overdraft Providers (pro rata as to the respective amounts owing to each of them) under this Agreement, third as the Borrowers’ Agent may request (so long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default then exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent, and fourth after the earlier of (x) termination of the applicable Revolving Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrowers under such Revolving Facility and (y) the Revolver Termination Date applicable to such Defaulting Lender and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrowers under such Revolving Facility to all Lenders owing on such Revolver Termination Date, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. For the sake of clarity, it is understood and agreed that any payment by the Borrowers on account of the obligations of a Defaulting Lender shall be and be deemed to be a payment by the Borrowers to such Defaulting Lender (and no interest will thereafter accrue on such amount) whether or not such payment is paid to such Defaulting Lender or deposited in the above- referenced non-interest bearing account.
(e) Cure. If Borrowers’ Agent, Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Overdraft Providers agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.13(d)), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders
(together with any break funding incurred by such other Lenders) and/or make such other adjustments as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the total Multicurrency Revolving Commitments, Dollar Revolving Commitments, Revolving Commitments, Multicurrency Revolving Loans, Dollar Revolving Loans, Revolving Loans, Letter of Credit participation obligations and Overdraft Amount participation obligations of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments under the applicable Revolving Facility, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(f) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, 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 unreallocated portion after giving effect thereto.
2.14 Borrowers’ Agent. O-I General is hereby appointed Borrowers’ agent and in the case of ACI NZ, as its attorney, hereunder by each Borrower (in such capacity “Borrowers’ Agent”). Each Borrower hereby authorizes, directs and empowers O-I General to act for and in the name of such Borrower and as its agent hereunder and under the other instruments and agreements referred to herein (including, without limitation, with respect to any service of process to be effected with respect to such Borrower). O-I General hereby accepts each such appointment. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes O-I General to take such action on such Borrower’s behalf and to exercise such powers hereunder, under the other Loan Documents, and under the other agreements and instruments referred to herein or therein as may be contemplated being taken or exercised by such Borrower by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be incidental thereto, including, without limitation, to borrow hereunder and deliver Notices of Borrowing, Notices of Conversion or Continuation and Compliance Certificates hereunder, to convert, continue, repay or prepay Loans made hereunder, to reduce the Commitments, to pay interest, fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Loans, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and the other agreements and instruments referred to herein or therein, to receive from or deliver to any Agent any notices, statements, reports, certificates or other documents or instruments contemplated herein, in the other Loan Documents or in any other agreement or instrument referred to herein and to receive from or transmit to any Agent any Loan proceeds or payments and to enter into any amendments or waivers of this Agreement (except to the extent that the execution of any such amendment or waiver by any Borrower is reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, acting on the advice of local counsel, where applicable). Each Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender shall be entitled to rely on the appointment and authorization of O-I General with respect to all matters related to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other agreements or instruments referred to herein or therein whether or not any particular provision hereof or thereof specifies that such matters may or shall be undertaken by Borrowers’ Agent. In reliance hereon, each Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender may deal with O-I General alone with the same effect as if such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender had dealt with each Borrower separately and individually.
2.15 Extension of Term Loans; Extension of Revolving Loans.
(a) Extension of Term Loans. The Borrowers’ Agent may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of a given Term Facility (each, an “Existing Term Loan Tranche”) be amended to extend the scheduled Term Loan Maturity Date with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans
which have been so amended, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.15. In order to establish any Extended Term Loans, the applicable Borrower shall provide a notice to Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche) (each, a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Term Loan Tranche and (y) (except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, optional prepayments and redemptions, mandatory repayments, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments, which shall be determined by the applicable Borrower and the Extending Term Lenders and set forth in the relevant Term Loan Extension Request), be substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole) no more favorable to the Extending Term Lenders than those applicable to the Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such Term Loan Extension Request (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the latest Term Loan Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans)) (as reasonably determined by the applicable Borrower), including: (i) all or any of the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization payments of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided, however, that at no time shall there be Term Facilities hereunder (including Additional Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans, Replacement Term Loans and Extended Term Loans) which have more than five different Term Loan Maturity Dates; (ii) pricing, optional prepayment and redemptions and mandatory repayments with respect to the Extended Term Loans (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than pricing, optional prepayments and redemptions and mandatory repayments for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (iii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the latest Term Loan Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans); and (iv) Extended Term Loans may have call protection as may be agreed by the applicable Borrower and the Lenders thereof; provided that no Extended Term Loans incurred by the applicable Borrower with respect to Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans and Tranche C Term Loans may be optionally or mandatorily prepaid prior to the date on which all such Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans or Tranche C Term Loans, and all other additional Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans, Replacement Term Loans, Extended Term Loans incurred by the applicable Borrower, in each case with an earlier final stated maturity (including Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche from which they were amended) are repaid in full, unless such optional or mandatory prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata optional or mandatory prepayment of such other Term Facility; provided, further, that (A) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time a Term Loan Extension Request is delivered to Lenders, (B) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans of a given Term Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche, (C) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans of a given Term Loan Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof shall be no shorter (other than by virtue of amortization or prepayment of such Indebtedness prior to the time of incurrence of such Extended Term Loans) than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the applicable Existing Term Loan Tranche, (D) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing, and (E) any Extended Term Loans incurred with respect to Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans or Tranche C Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis)
in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder with respect to any Tranche A Term Loans, Tranche B Term Loans or Tranche C Term Loans, and any other Additional Term Loans, Refinancing Term Loans, Replacement Term Loans and Extended Term Loans, incurred by the applicable Borrower, in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Term Loan Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Term Loans amended from an Existing Term Loan Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Term Loan Extension Series with respect to such Existing Term Loan Tranche (in which case scheduled amortization with respect thereto shall be proportionally increased). Each Term Loan Extension Series of Extended Term Loans incurred under this Section 2.15 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $100,000,000 (or, if less, the entire principal amount of the Indebtedness being extended pursuant to this Section 2.15(a)).
(b) Extension of Revolving Commitments. The Borrowers’ Agent may, at any time and from time to time, request that all or a portion of any Revolving Facility (each, an “Existing Revolver Tranche”) be amended to extend the Revolver Termination Date with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of the Revolving Commitments under such Revolving Facility (any such Revolving Commitments under a Revolving Facility which have been so amended, “Extended Revolving Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.11(k). In order to establish any Extended Revolving Commitments, Company shall provide a notice to Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche) (each, a “Revolver Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche (including as to the proposed interest rates and fees payable) and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche and (y) except as to interest rates, fees, optional redemption or prepayment terms, final maturity, and after the final maturity date, any other covenants and provisions (which shall be determined by Company and the Extending Revolving Lenders and set forth in the relevant Revolver Extension Request), the Extended Revolving Commitment extended pursuant to a Revolver Extension Request, and the related outstandings, shall be a “Revolving Facility” (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with such other terms substantially identical to, or taken as a whole, no more favorable to the Extending Revolving Lenders, as those applicable to the Existing Revolver Tranche subject to such Revolver Extension Request (and related outstandings) (as reasonably determined by Company), including: (i) pricing, optional prepayment or redemption terms, with respect to extensions of credit under the Extended Revolving Commitments (whether in the form of interest rate margin, upfront fees, original issue discount or otherwise) may be different than the pricing, optional redemption or prepayment terms, for extensions of credit under any Revolving Facility of such Existing Revolver Tranche, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; (ii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants (as determined by Company and Extending Revolving Lenders) and terms that apply solely to any period after the latest Revolver Termination Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Revolving Commitments); and (iii) (1) the borrowing and repayment (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), (B) repayments required upon the Revolver Termination Date of such Revolving Facility (and related outstandings) or the Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Extension Series (and related outstandings), in each case having an earlier Revolver Termination Date and (C) repayments made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments under such Revolving Facility or the Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Extension Series, in each
case having an earlier Revolver Termination Date (subject to clause (3) below)) of Loans with respect to Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Extension Series after the date of obtaining such Extended Revolving Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with the Existing Revolver Tranche, (2) subject to the provisions of Section 2.11 to the extent dealing with Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exist Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Extension Series, all Letters of Credit issued under the Existing Revolver Tranche shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche and Extended Revolving Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the Commitments under the applicable Revolving Facilities (and except as provided in Section 2.1, without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier Revolver Termination Date with respect to Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued), (3) the permanent repayment of Loans under, and termination of, Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Extension Series after the date of obtaining such Extended Revolving Commitments shall be made on a pro rata basis with the Existing Revolver Tranche, except that Company shall be permitted to permanently repay and terminate commitments of the Existing Revolver Tranche on a greater than a pro rata basis as compared to any other such Revolving Facility with a later Revolver Termination Date and (4) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans shall be governed by the same assignment and participation provisions applicable to the Existing Revolver Tranche (and related outstandings); provided, further, that (A) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time a Revolver Extension Request is delivered to Lenders, (B) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Revolving Commitments of a given Revolver Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the Revolver Termination Date of the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche, (C) at no time shall there be Commitments under revolving credit facilities hereunder (including the Revolving Commitments and Extended Revolving Commitments of each Extension Series) which have more than five different Revolver Termination Dates and (D) all documentation in respect of such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing. Any Extended Revolving Commitments amended pursuant to any Revolver Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Revolver Extension Series”) of Extended Revolving Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Revolving Commitments amended from an Existing Revolver Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Revolver Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolver Tranche. Each Revolver Extension Series of Extended Revolving Commitments incurred under this Section 2.15 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $100,000,000 (or, if less, the entire principal amount of the Revolving Commitments being extended pursuant to this Section 2.15(b)).
(c) Extension Request. The Borrowers’ Agent shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, are requested to respond (or such shorter period as agreed by Administrative Agent), and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.15. Subject to Section 3.7(b), no Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Tranche amended into Extended Term Loans or any of its Revolving Commitments amended into Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender holding a Loan under an Existing Term Loan Tranche (each, an “Extending Term Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans under an Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Term Loans and any Revolving Lender (each, an “Extending Revolving Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Revolving Commitments under an Existing Revolver Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended
Revolving Commitments, as applicable, shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, which it has elected to request be amended into Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Tranche or Revolving Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche, as applicable, in respect of which applicable Term Loan Lenders or Revolving Lenders, as the case may be, shall have accepted the relevant Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, requested to be extended pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, subject to Extension Elections shall be amended to Extended Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, on a pro rata basis (subject to rounding by Administrative Agent, which shall be conclusive) based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, included in each such Extension Election.
(d) Extension Amendment. Extended Term Loans and Extended Revolving Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement among the Borrowers, Administrative Agent and each Extending Term Lender or Extending Revolving Lender, as applicable, providing an Extended Term Loan or Extended Revolving Commitment, as applicable, thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 2.15(a) or 2.15(b) above, respectively (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver in accordance with such Extension Amendment) on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 and, to the extent reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, receipt by Administrative Agent of (i) legal opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date other than changes to such legal opinion resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings), as applicable, incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) modify the scheduled repayments set forth in Section 4.4(b) with respect to any Existing Term Loan Tranche subject to an Extension Election to reflect a reduction in the principal amount of the Term Loans of the applicable Term Facility thereunder in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans amended pursuant to the applicable Extension (with such amount to be applied ratably to reduce scheduled repayments of such Term Loans required pursuant to Section 4.4(b)), (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 4.3 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto and (iv) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15 (including, without limitation, such amendments as may be considered necessary or appropriate to integrate any Extended Term Loan as a new Term Facility or any Extended Revolving Commitments as a new Revolving Facility), and the Requisite Lenders hereby expressly authorize Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment. In addition, any Extended Term Lender or Extended Revolving Lender
shall become bound by the Re-Allocation Agreement in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders and Issuing Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into any amendment or supplement to the Re-Allocation Agreement as the Administrative Agent deemed as appropriate, in order to give effect to the foregoing.
(e) No Prepayment. No conversion or extension of Loans or Commitments pursuant to any Extension Amendment in accordance with this Section 2.15 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment or repayment for purposes of this Agreement. This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 4.5 or 12.1 to the contrary.
ARTICLE III
INTEREST AND FEES
3.1 Interest.
(a) Base Rate Loans. Each applicable Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date the proceeds thereof are made available to such Borrower (or, if such Base Rate Loan was converted from a Eurocurrency Loan, the date of such conversion) until the earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan or (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a Eurocurrency Loan pursuant to Section 2.7 at a rate per annum equal to the relevant Base Rate plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin.
(b) Eurocurrency Loans. Each applicable Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of such Borrower’s Eurocurrency Loans from the date the proceeds thereof are made available to such Borrower (or, if such Eurocurrency Loan was converted from a Base Rate Loan, the date of such conversion) until the earlier of (i) the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurocurrency Loan or (ii) the conversion of such Eurocurrency Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.7 at a rate per annum equal to the relevant Eurocurrency Rate plus the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin.
(c) [Reserved.]
(d) [Reserved.]
(e) Payment of Interest. Interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest accruing pursuant to Section 3.1(g) shall be payable from time to time on demand. Interest shall also be payable on all then outstanding Revolving Loans on the applicable Revolver Termination Date and on all Loans on the date of repayment (including prepayment) thereof (except that voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans made pursuant to Section 4.3 on any day other than a Quarterly Payment Date or the applicable Revolver Termination Date need not be made with accrued interest from the most recent Quarterly Payment Date, provided such accrued interest is paid on the next Quarterly Payment Date) and on the date of maturity (by acceleration or otherwise) of such Loans. During the existence of any Event of Default, interest on any Loan shall be payable on demand.
(f) Notification of Rate. Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans for any Interest Period, shall promptly notify the applicable Borrowers and the applicable Lenders thereof. Such determination shall, absent manifest error and subject to Section 3.6, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto.
(g) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified herein, effective immediately upon any failure to make principal payments on any Loans, whether by acceleration or otherwise, the principal balance of each Loan then due and outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payment on each Loan not paid when due or other amounts then due and payable shall bear interest payable on demand, after as well as before judgment at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.
(h) Maximum Interest. If any interest payment or other charge or fee payable hereunder exceeds the maximum amount then permitted by applicable law, the applicable Borrower shall be obligated to pay the maximum amount then permitted by applicable law and the applicable Borrower shall continue to pay the maximum amount from time to time permitted by applicable law until all such interest payments and other charges and fees otherwise due hereunder (in the absence of such restraint imposed by applicable law) have been paid in full. To the extent necessary to comply with applicable usury law, provisions of any Collateral Documents related to maximum rates of interest are incorporated herein by reference and shall control and supersede any provision hereof or of any other Loan Document to the contrary. In no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in Section 347 (the “Criminal Code Section”) of the Criminal Code (Canada)), payable to any Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceed the effective annual rate of interest lawfully permitted under the Criminal Code Section. Further, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in respect of such “interest” is determined to be contrary to the provisions of the Criminal Code Section, such payment, collection, or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower and such “interest” shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by law or so result in the receipt by the applicable Lender of interest at a rate not in contravention of the Criminal Code Section.
(i) Minimum Interest. The rates of interest provided for in this Agreement, including, without limitation, in this Section 3.1, are minimum interest rates. When entering into this Agreement, the parties have assumed that the interest payable at the rates set out in this Section 3.1 or in other sections of this Agreement is not and will not become subject to Swiss Withholding Tax. Notwithstanding that the parties do not anticipate that any payment of interest will be subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, they agree that, in the event that Swiss Withholding Tax should be imposed on interest payments by an obligor and if Section 4.7(a) is unenforceable for any reason, the payment of interest due by such obligor shall be increased to an amount which (after making any deduction of the Non-refundable Portion (as defined below) of Swiss Withholding Tax) results in a payment to each Lender entitled to such payment of an amount equal to the payment which would have been due had no deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax been required. For this purpose, the Swiss Withholding Tax shall be calculated on the full grossed-up interest amount. For the purposes of this Section 3.1(i), “Non-refundable Portion” of Swiss Withholding Tax shall mean Swiss Withholding Tax at the standard rate (being, as at the date hereof, 35 per cent.) unless a tax ruling issued by the Swiss Federal Tax Administration confirms that, in relation to a specific Lender based on an applicable double tax treaty, the Non-refundable Portion is a specified lower rate in which case such lower rate shall be applied in relation to such Lender. If requested by a Lender, the relevant obligor shall provide to Administrative Agent the documents required by law or applicable double taxation treaties for the Lenders to prepare claims for the refund of any Swiss Withholding Tax so deducted.
(j) Interest Act (Canada) Disclosure. For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or fee to be paid hereunder or in connection herewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year or any other period of time that is less than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is
equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained (365 or 366, as applicable) and divided by 360 or such other period of time, as applicable. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement. Each applicable Borrower confirms that it understands and is able to calculate the rate of interest applicable to Loans based on methodology for calculating per annum rates provided for in this Agreement. Each applicable Borrower irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defence or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to this Agreement or any transaction documents, that interest payable under this Agreement and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to each applicable Borrower as required pursuant to Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada).
3.2 Fees.
(a) Upfront Fees. Each of Company and Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx shall pay (or cause to be paid) the fees as set forth in or otherwise contemplated by the Engagement Letter at the times set forth in such letter for distribution as set forth therein.
(b) Commitment Fees; Agency Fees.
(i) Commitment Fees. U.S. Borrower agrees to pay (or cause to be paid) to Administrative Agent for pro rata distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender having a Dollar Revolving Commitment (based on its Dollar Revolver Pro Rata Share) a commitment fee in Dollars (the “Dollar Commitment Fee”) for the period commencing on the Closing Date to and including the Revolver Termination Date for the Dollar Revolving Facility or the earlier termination of the Dollar Revolving Commitments (and, in either case, repayment in full of the Dollar Revolving Loans and payment in full, or collateralization (by the deposit of cash into the Collateral Account or otherwise) in amounts and pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lenders, of the Dollar LC Obligations), computed at a rate equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage per annum on the average daily Total Available Dollar Revolving Commitment. Unless otherwise specified, accrued Dollar Commitment Fees shall be due and payable in arrears (A) on each Quarterly Payment Date, (B) on the Revolver Termination Date for the Dollar Revolving Facility and (C) upon any reduction or termination in whole or in part of the Dollar Revolving Commitments (but only, in the case of a reduction, on the portion of the Dollar Revolving Commitments then being reduced); and
(ii) U.S. Borrower agrees to pay (or cause to be paid) to Administrative Agent for pro rata distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender having a Multicurrency Revolving Commitment (based on its Multicurrency Revolver Pro Rata Share) a commitment fee in Dollars (the “Multicurrency Commitment Fee”) for the period commending on the Closing Date to and including the Revolver Termination Date for the Multicurrency Revolving Facility or the earlier termination of the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments (and, in either case, repayment in full of the Multicurrency Revolving Loans and payment in full, or collateralization (by the deposit of cash into the Collateral Account or otherwise) in amounts and pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lenders, of the Multicurrency LC Obligations), computed at a rate equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage per annum on the average daily Total Available Multicurrency Revolving Commitment. Unless otherwise specified, accrued Multicurrency Commitment Fees shall be due and payable (A) on each Quarterly Payment Date, (B) on the Revolver Termination Date for the Multicurrency Revolving Facility and (C) upon any reduction or termination in whole or in part of the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments (but only, in the case of a reduction, on the portion of the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments then being reduced).
(c) Agency Fees. U.S. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to Administrative Agent for its own account, agency and other Loan fees in the amount and at the times set forth in the Engagement Letter.
3.3 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest on all Loans and fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days; provided that (i) interest on all Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable and (ii) interest on all Loans denominated in ADollars shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days. Each determination of an interest rate by Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on each Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. Administrative Agent shall, at any time and from time to time upon request of Borrowers’ Agent, deliver to Borrowers’ Agent a statement showing the quotations used by Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate applicable to Loans pursuant to this Agreement. Each change in the Applicable Base Rate Margin or Applicable Eurocurrency Margin or the Applicable Commitment Fee Percentage as a result of a change in the Applicable Leverage Ratio shall become effective on the date upon which such change in such ratio occurs.
3.4 Interest Periods. At the time it gives any Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, the applicable Borrower shall elect, by giving Administrative Agent written notice, the interest period (each an “Interest Period”) which Interest Period shall, at the option of the applicable Borrower, be (x) one, two or three weeks (provided that such Interest Periods shall only be available in the case of Eurocurrency Loans made to ACI NZ if requested by ACI NZ in order to accommodate a refinancing event), (y) one, two, three or six months or, (z) if available to each of the applicable Lenders (as determined by each such applicable Lender in its sole discretion) a twelve-month period; provided that:
(a) all Eurocurrency Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;
(b) the initial Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Loan shall commence on the date of such Borrowing of such Eurocurrency Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Loan of a different Type) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Eurocurrency Loan shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period;
(c) if any Interest Period relating to a Eurocurrency Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;
(d) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;
(e) no Interest Period may be selected at any time when an Event of Default is then in existence; provided, that Alternative Currency Loans shall continue with Interest Periods of one month if any Event of Default is then in existence;
(f) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the applicable Term Maturity Date for any Term Loan or the applicable Revolver Termination Date for any Revolving Loan;
(g) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Term Loans of any Facility shall be selected which extends beyond any date upon which a mandatory repayment of such Term Facility will be required to be made under Section 4.4(b) or (c) as the case may be, if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of such Facility, which have Interest Periods which will expire after such date will be in excess of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of such Facility then outstanding less the aggregate amount of such required prepayment; and
(h) if any Borrower requests any Eurocurrency Loan having an Interest Period with a duration other than one week or one, two, three or six months (but not longer than twelve months), the applicable interest rate for such period shall be the rate determined by Administrative Agent by means of straight-line interpolation (rounded upwards, if necessary to the next 1/100th of 1%) of (i) the rate that would be applicable for the next closest Interest Period otherwise available with a duration shorter than the requested period and (ii) the rate that would be applicable for the next closest Interest Period otherwise available with a duration longer than the requested period; provided that if the requested Interest Period extends over any year-end, the higher of the two rates will apply.
3.5 Compensation for Funding Losses. The applicable Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any interest paid by such Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurocurrency Loans to the extent not recovered by the Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds and including the compensation payable by such Lender to a Participant) and any loss sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds (including, without limitation, a return on such liquidation or re-employment that would result in such Lender receiving less than it would have received had such Eurocurrency Loan remained outstanding until the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency Loans but excluding Excluded Taxes) which such Lender may sustain as a result of:
(a) for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or Administrative Agent) a continuation or Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Eurocurrency Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation (whether or not withdrawn);
(b) any payment, prepayment or conversion or continuation of any of its Eurocurrency Loans occurring for any reason whatsoever on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto;
(c) any repayment of any of its Eurocurrency Loans not being made on the date specified in a notice of payment given by such Borrower; or
(d) (i) any other failure by such Borrower to repay such Borrower’s Eurocurrency Loans by the terms of this Agreement or (ii) an election made by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.7. A written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the incurrence of additional amounts owed such Lender under this Section 3.5 and delivered to such Borrower and Administrative Agent by such Lender shall, absent manifest or demonstrable error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 3.5 shall be made as though that Lender had actually funded its relevant Eurocurrency Loan through the purchase of a Eurocurrency deposit bearing interest at the Eurocurrency Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that Loan, having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurocurrency deposit from an offshore office of that Lender to a domestic office of that Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its
Eurocurrency Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this Section 3.5.
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.5 shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent losses, expenses and liabilities arising from any non-Tax claim.
3.6 Increased Costs, Illegality, Etc.
(a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by Administrative Agent):
(i) on any Interest Rate Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank Eurocurrency market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurocurrency Rate; or
(ii) at any time, that any Recipient shall incur increased costs or reduction in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Loan because of (x) any Change in Law having general applicability to all comparably situated Lenders within the jurisdiction in which such Lender operates since the date of this Agreement such as, for example, but not limited to: (A) the imposition of any Tax of any kind with respect to this Agreement or any Loan (other than (I) Indemnified Taxes and (II) Excluded Taxes); provided, that, if such increased costs are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment to have been imposed as a result of a Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, such Lender will promptly repay to the applicable Borrower the amount of any increased costs paid to such Lender by such Borrower under this Section 3.6, or (B) a change in official reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirements by any Governmental Authority (but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurocurrency Rate) and/or (y) other circumstances since the date of this Agreement affecting such Lender or the interbank Eurocurrency market or the position of such Lender in such market (excluding, however, differences in a Lender’s cost of funds from those of Administrative Agent which are solely the result of credit differences between such Lender and Administrative Agent); provided, that, any increased cost arising as a result of any of the foregoing other than in respect of Taxes shall apply only to Eurocurrency Loans; or
(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurocurrency Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law, directive or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the date of this Agreement which materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurocurrency market;
then, and in any such event, such Lender (or Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrowers. Thereafter, (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurocurrency Loans shall no longer be available until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Borrowers’ Agent and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by any Borrower with respect to Eurocurrency Loans (other than with respect to conversions to Base Rate Loans, which shall be calculated without regard to clause (iii) of the definition thereof) which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by such Borrower and, in the case of Alternative Currency Loans, such Loans shall thereafter bear interest at a rate equal to Administrative Agent’s cost of funds for such Alternative Currency plus the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above,
such Borrower shall pay to such Lender, within ten days of written demand therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (any written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the reasonable basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to Borrowers’ Agent by such Lender shall, absent manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding; provided, that, no Lender shall be entitled to receive additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.6 for periods occurring prior to the 135th day before the giving of such notice, except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such additional amounts is retroactive, then the 135 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof); and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, such Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 3.6(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law. In determining such additional amounts pursuant to clause (y) of the immediately preceding sentence, each Lender shall act reasonably and in good faith and will, to the extent the increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable relate to such Lender’s loans in general and are not specifically attributable to a Loan hereunder, use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable and which cover all loans similar to the Loans made by such Lender whether or not the loan documentation for such other loans permits the Lender to receive increased costs of the type described in this Section 3.6(a).
(b) Eurocurrency Loans. (i) At any time that any Eurocurrency Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 3.6(a)(ii) or (iii), any Borrower may (and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 3.6(a)(iii), shall) either (A) if the affected Eurocurrency Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, by giving Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the Borrowers’ Agent or the applicable Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.6(a)(ii) or (iii), cancel the respective Borrowing, or (B) if the affected Eurocurrency Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to Administrative Agent, (A) if such Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in Dollars, require the affected Lender to convert such Eurocurrency Loan into a Base Rate Loan (which shall be calculated without regard to clause (iii) of the definition thereof) or (B) if such Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in an Alternative Currency, prepay such Eurocurrency Loan in accordance with Section 4.3, provided, that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 3.6(b).
(ii) If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.6(a)(i) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in Section 3.6(a)(i) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the US LIBOR Screen Rate, the EURIBOR Screen Rate, the AUD LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the US LIBOR Screen Rate, the EURIBOR Screen Rate or the AUD LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrowers shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Eurocurrency Rate for each applicable currency that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans denominated in each such currency in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the Applicable Eurocurrency Margin). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.1, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this
Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Requisite Lenders with respect to each applicable Facility stating that such Requisite Lenders object to such amendment. Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b), (x) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, (y) if any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall (A) if denominated in Dollars, be made as a Base Rate Borrowing (calculated without regard to clause (iii) of the definition thereof) and (B) if denominated in any Alternative Currency, shall be deemed to be ineffective; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.
(c) Capital Requirements. Without duplication of Section 3.6(a), if any Lender determines that any Change in Law concerning capital adequacy or liquidity requirements by any Governmental Authority will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender, within fifteen days of its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital or liquidity.
(d) Certificates for Reimbursement. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.6, will give prompt written notice thereof to Borrowers’ Agent and Administrative Agent (which notice Administrative Agent will promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders), which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not release or diminish any of any Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.6; provided, that, no Lender shall be entitled to receive additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.6 (other than pursuant to Section 3.6(a)(ii)) for periods occurring prior to the 135th day before the giving of such notice, except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 135-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable and which will, to the extent the increased costs or reduction in the rate of return relates to such Lender’s commitments, loans or obligations in general and are not specifically attributable to the Commitments, Loans and obligations hereunder, cover all commitments, loans and obligations similar to the Commitments, Loans and obligations of such Lender hereunder whether or not the loan documentation for such other commitments, loans or obligations permits the Lender to make the determination specified in this Section 3.6. Such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 3.6(d), will give prompt written notice thereof to Borrowers, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts.
3.7 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Affected Lenders.
(a) Change of Lending Office. Each Lender which is or will be owed compensation pursuant to Section 3.6(a) or (c) or Section 4.7(a) or (c) will, if requested by Borrowers’ Agent, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to cause a different branch or Affiliate to make or continue a Loan or Letter of Credit or to assign its rights
and obligations hereunder to another of its branches or Affiliates if in the judgment of such Lender such designation or assignment will avoid the need for, or materially reduce the amount of, such compensation to such Lender and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous in any significant respect to such Lender. Company hereby agrees to pay, or to cause the applicable Borrower to pay, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with such designation or assignment. Nothing in this Section 3.7(a) shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the right of any Lender provided for herein.
(b) Replacement of Lenders. If (x) any Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or otherwise defaults in its obligations to make Loans or fund Unpaid Drawings, (y) any Lender is owed increased costs under Section 3.6(a)(ii) or (iii) or Section 3.6(c) or Section 4.7(a), (b) or (c) materially in excess of increased costs owed to the other Lenders or (z) as provided in Section 12.1(b) any Lender refuses to consent to certain proposed amendments, changes, supplements, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement, Company shall have the right to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Assignee or Eligible Assignees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”), reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, provided that (i) in the case of any replacement made pursuant to clause (y), such replacement will reduce the amount of any compensation payable by the Loan Parties under Section 3.6(a)(ii) or (iii) or Section 3.6(c) or Section 4.7(a), (b), or (c), (ii) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 3.7, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more assignment agreements, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of, and participations in Letters of Credit and Overdraft Amounts by, the Replaced Lender (or, at the option of Borrowers’ Agent if the respective Lender’s consent is required with respect to less than all Loans, to replace only the respective Loans of the respective non-consenting Lender which gave rise to the need to obtain such Lender’s individual consent), (iii) Company shall have paid, or shall have caused the applicable Borrower to pay, to Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 12.8, and (iv) all obligations of all Loan Parties owing to the Replaced Lender (including, without limitation, such increased costs and excluding those specifically described in clause (ii) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective assignment documentation, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by each applicable Borrowers, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and, unless the Replaced Lender continues to have outstanding Loans hereunder, the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including under Section 4.7), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, no Lender that acts as a Issuing Lender may be replaced hereunder at any time when it has Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Lender (including the furnishing of a Letter of Credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer satisfactory to such Issuing Lender or the depositing of cash collateral into the Collateral Account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Lender) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit.
ARTICLE IV

4.1 Voluntary Reduction of Commitments. Upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing) (which notice may be conditioned upon
the happening of a future event) to Administrative Agent at the Notice Address (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each Lender), Borrowers’ Agent shall have the right, without premium or penalty, to terminate the unutilized portion of the Dollar Revolving Commitments or the Multicurrency Revolving Commitment in part or in whole, provided that (x) any such voluntary termination of the Dollar Revolving Commitment or Multicurrency Revolving Commitment shall apply to proportionately and permanently reduce the Dollar Revolving Commitment or Multicurrency Revolving Commitment of each Dollar Revolving Lender or Multicurrency Revolving Lender, as the case may be, (y) any partial voluntary reduction pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount and (z) any such voluntary termination of the Dollar Revolving Commitment or Multicurrency Revolving Commitment shall occur simultaneously with a voluntary prepayment, pursuant to Section 4.3 to the extent necessary such that the Total Dollar Revolving Commitment or Total Multicurrency Revolving Commitment, as applicable, shall not be reduced below (1) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Dollar Revolving Loans plus the aggregate amount of outstanding Dollar LC Obligations in the case of the Dollar Revolving Commitment or (2) the Effective Amount of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Multicurrency Revolving Loans plus the aggregate Effective Amount of Multicurrency LC Obligations and Overdraft Amounts, in the case of Multicurrency Revolving Commitments.
4.2 Mandatory Reductions of Term Loan Commitments. Each of the Term Loan Commitments shall automatically and permanently terminate on the Closing Date after giving effect to the Borrowing of such Term Loans.
4.3 Voluntary Prepayments. Each Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans without premium or penalty in whole or in part from time to time on the following terms and conditions:
(a) the applicable Borrower shall give Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice (which notice may be conditioned upon the happening of an event) at its Notice Address (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay the Loans, whether such Loans are Term Loans (and if so, the applicable Term Facilities), Dollar Revolving Loans or Multicurrency Revolving Loans, the amount of such prepayment and the specific Borrowings to which such prepayment is to be applied, which notice shall be given by the applicable Borrower to Administrative Agent by 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days prior in the case of Eurocurrency Loans and at least one (1) Business Day prior in the case of Base Rate Loans to the date of such prepayment and which notice shall promptly be transmitted by Administrative Agent to each of the applicable Lenders;
(b) each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000 or €1,000,000 (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof in any other Alternative Currency); provided that no partial prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto;
(c) Eurocurrency Loans may only be prepaid pursuant to this Section 4.3 on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto or on any other day subject to Section 3.5;
(d) each prepayment in respect of any Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among the Loans comprising such Borrowing, provided, that such prepayment shall not be applied to any Loans of a Defaulting Lender at any time when the aggregate amount of Loans of any Non-

(e) each voluntary prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be applied (i) to the particular Term Facilities as specified by the applicable Borrower in the notice delivered pursuant to Section 4.3(a) (or in the absence of such direction, among the Term Facilities on a pro rata basis) and (ii) within each Term Facility, as directed by the applicable Borrower to any or all of the remaining Scheduled Term Repayments with respect to such Term Facility (in the amounts designated by such Borrower); provided that in the absence of direction from the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent shall apply such prepayment to the remaining Scheduled Term Repayments with respect to such Term Facility in direct order of maturity. Unless otherwise specified by the applicable Borrower, such prepayment under a Term Facility shall be applied first to the payment of Base Rate Loans and second to the payment of such Eurocurrency Loans under such Term Facility.
The notice provisions, the provisions with respect to the minimum amount of any prepayment and the provisions requiring prepayments in integral multiples above such minimum amount of this Section 4.3 are for the benefit of Administrative Agent and may be waived or modified unilaterally by Administrative Agent.
4.4 Mandatory Prepayments.
(a) Prepayment Upon Overadvance.
(i) U.S. Borrower and/or any applicable Additional Domestic Subsidiary Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans under the Dollar Revolving Facility on any date on which the aggregate Effective Amount of such Loans and all Dollar LC Obligations exceeds the aggregate Dollar Revolving Commitment, in the amount of such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Dollar Revolving Loans, the aggregate Effective Amount of Dollar LC Obligations exceeds the aggregate Dollar Revolving Commitments then in effect, such Borrower shall cash collateralize Dollar LC Obligations by depositing, pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, cash with Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between the Effective Amount of such Dollar LC Obligations and the aggregate Dollar Revolving Commitments then in effect. Administrative Agent shall establish in its name for the benefit of the Dollar Revolving Lenders a cash collateral account (the “Collateral Account”) into which it shall deposit such cash to hold as collateral security for the Dollar LC Obligations.
(ii) Each applicable Multicurrency Revolving Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans under the Multicurrency Revolving Facility on any date on which the aggregate Effective Amount of such Loans, together with the aggregate Effective Amount of Multicurrency LC Obligations and Effective Amount of Overdraft Amounts exceeds the aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Commitments, in the amount of such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Multicurrency Revolving Loans, the aggregate Effective Amount of Multicurrency LC Obligations, plus the aggregate Effective Amount of Overdraft Amounts exceeds the aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Commitments then in effect, each applicable Borrower shall cash collateralize Multicurrency LC Obligations by depositing, pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, cash with Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between the Effective Amount of such Multicurrency LC Obligations and the aggregate Multicurrency Revolving Commitments then in effect. Administrative Agent shall establish in its name for the benefit of the Multicurrency Revolving Lenders a cash collateral
account into which it shall deposit such cash to hold as collateral security for the Multicurrency LC Obligations.
(b) Scheduled Term Repayments. The applicable Borrower shall cause to be paid Scheduled Term Repayments for the Term Loans under each Term Facility until the Term Loans are paid in full in the amounts and currencies and at the times specified in each of the Scheduled Term Repayment definition to the extent that prepayments have not previously been applied to such Scheduled Term Repayments (and such Scheduled Term Repayments have not otherwise been reduced) pursuant to the terms hereof.
(c) Mandatory Prepayment Upon Asset Sale. From and after the Closing Date, (i) on the third Business Day after the date of receipt thereof by Company or any of the other Loan Parties of any Net Proceeds in respect of any Triggering Asset Sale by Company or any such other Loan Parties, the Borrowers shall (A) prepay Term Loans in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the portion of the Net Proceeds permitted to be applied to the Term Loans under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, and (y) the aggregate amount of Term Loans outstanding, and/or (B) if and to the extent required hereunder, permanently reduce the Dollar Revolving Commitments and the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments on a pro rata basis by an amount equal to the respective Dollar Revolving Commitments and Multicurrency Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, multiplied by the positive difference (if any) between the Net Proceeds permitted to be applied to the Term Loans under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and amounts applied to the Term Loans under clause (i)(A) of this clause (c), and (ii) in the event of a Triggering Asset Sale by a foreign Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Company that is not an Offshore Borrower or Offshore Guarantor, not later than the third Business Day after receipt by such Restricted Foreign Subsidiary of any Net Proceeds, if and to the extent such Net Proceeds may be repatriated or otherwise transferred (by reason of payment of intercompany note or otherwise) to a Borrower or Borrowers with Term Loans outstanding without (in the reasonable judgment of Company) resulting in a material tax or other liability to Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries, such Net Proceeds shall be applied pursuant to clause (i) above; provided, that any such Net Proceeds therefrom shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that (A) no Loan Party would be obligated to make an offer to purchase any Indebtedness if such Net Proceeds were not used to repay Term Loans and (B) no Event of Default then exists and such Loan Party uses such Net Proceeds to make Investments in Restricted Subsidiaries, purchase assets or reinvest in the business of Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries within 365 days of the date of such Asset Sale; provided, further, that (A) if all or any portion of such Net Proceeds not so applied to the repayment of Term Loans are not so used (or contractually committed to be used within 180 days from the date of such commitment) within such 365 day period, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of the respective period as a mandatory repayment of principal of outstanding Term Loans as provided above in this Section 4.4(c) and (B) if all or any portion of such Net Proceeds are not required to be applied on the 365th day referred to in clause (i) above because such amount is contractually committed to be used and subsequent to such date such contract is terminated or expires without such portion being so used (or if such portion is not so used within 180 days from the date of such contract), then such remaining portion shall be applied on the date of such termination or expiration as a mandatory repayment of principal of outstanding Term Loans as provided in this Section 4.4(c).
(d) [Reserved].
(e) Mandatory Prepayment with Proceeds of Indebtedness. From and after the Closing Date, promptly on receipt of Net Proceeds by Company, Xxxxx-Xxxxxxxx or any or the Subsidiary Guarantors from the issuance of Permitted Secured Debt issued following the Closing Date, (i) the Borrowers of Term Loans shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net
Proceeds and (ii) if, and to the extent required hereunder, the Dollar Revolving Commitments and the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced on a pro rata basis by an amount equal to the positive difference (if any) between the Net Proceeds and the amounts thereof applied to the Term Loans under clause (i) of this clause (e); provided, that the Borrowers’ Agent may elect by written notice to Administrative Agent following receipt of such Net Proceeds with respect to Permitted Secured Debt, to reduce the amount of any required prepayment or commitment reduction, as the case may be, under this clause (e) by up to the maximum amount of Loans and Commitments permitted to be added to this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.10 (any Permitted Secured Debt for which such election is made being referred to as “Accordion-Reducing Permitted Secured Debt”). Any mandatory prepayment under this clause (e) shall be applied in the order set forth in Section 4.5.
(f) Mandatory Prepayment Upon Recovery Event. From and after the Closing Date, within ten (10) days following each date on which Company or any other Loan Party receives any Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds from any Recovery Event, the Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the portion of the Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds permitted to be applied to the Loans under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and (B) the aggregate amount of Term Loans outstanding; provided that any such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds therefrom shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that (A) no Loan Party would be obligated to make an offer to purchase any Indebtedness if such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds were not used to repay Term Loans and (B) no Event of Default then exists and such Loan Party uses such Net Proceeds to make Investments in Restricted Subsidiaries, purchase assets or reinvest in the business of Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries within 365 days of the date on which Company or any Loan Party receives such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds; and, provided, further, that:
(i) if all or any portion of such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds not required to be applied to the repayment of Term Loans pursuant to the first proviso of this Section 4.4(f) are not so used (or contractually committed to be used within 180 days from the date of such commitment) within 365 days after the day of the receipt of such proceeds, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as a mandatory repayment of principal of the Term Loans provided in this Section 4.4(f); and
(ii) if all or any portion of such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds are not required to be applied on the 365th day referred to in clause (i) above because such amount is contractually committed to be used and subsequent to such date such contract is terminated or expires without such portion being so used (or if such portion is not so used within 180 days from the date of such contract), then such remaining portion shall be applied on the date of such termination or expiration as a mandatory repayment of principal of outstanding Term Loans as provided in this Section 4.4(f).
(g) Repatriation of Proceeds. Notwithstanding any other provisions of Sections 4.4(c), 4.4(e) or 4.4(f) to the extent that any of or all the Net Proceeds of any asset disposition or Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds of any Recovery Event are received by a Foreign Subsidiary, or to the extent that any of or all the excess cash on hand is attributable to the results of operations of, one or more Foreign Subsidiaries, or the sale of assets of, or any Recovery Event with respect to the assets of, one or more Foreign Subsidiaries (in each case, “Foreign Proceeds”) and the repatriation of such Foreign Proceeds to a Borrower would (x) result in material adverse Tax consequences to Company or any other Subsidiary or (y) would be prohibited or restricted by applicable law, rule or regulation or contract (each, a “Repatriation Limitation”), the portion of such Foreign Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied by such Borrower to repay Loans or reduce any Commitments hereunder but may be retained by the applicable Foreign
Subsidiary so long as such Repatriation Limitation exists (provided that (x) to the extent such Foreign Subsidiary is itself a Borrower, such Foreign Subsidiary shall comply with its own obligations to make any prepayments hereunder notwithstanding any such Repatriation Limitation and (y) Company hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take commercially reasonable actions required by the applicable law, rule or regulation to overcome or mitigate the effect of the Repatriation Limitation so as to permit such repatriation to the applicable Borrower or to any other Borrower not subject to such Repatriation Limitation) and once such Repatriation Limitation no longer exists, such Subsidiary shall promptly repatriate an amount equal to such Foreign Proceeds to the applicable Borrower which shall promptly (and in any event not later than 10 Business Days after such repatriation) apply such amount to the repayment of the Loans to the extent it would have otherwise been required pursuant to Section 4.4(c) and/or Section 4.4(e) and/or Section 4.4(f).
4.5 Application of Prepayments; Waiver of Certain Prepayments.
(a) Prepayments. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, all prepayments of principal made by Borrowers pursuant to Section 4.4 shall be applied (i) first to the payment of the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Term Loans until paid in full, and second, if an Event of Default then exists, to the payment of the then outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans, and the cash collateralization of LC Obligations and to the payment of the then outstanding balance of Overdraft Amounts, on a pro rata basis, with any excess being retained by the applicable Borrower; (ii) within each of the foregoing Loans under a particular Facility, first to the payment of Base Rate Loans under such Facility and second to the payment of Eurocurrency Loans under such Facility; and (iii) with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, in such order as Borrowers shall request (and in the absence of such request, as Administrative Agent shall determine). Each prepayment of Term Loans made pursuant to Section 4.4(c), (e) and (f) shall be applied to the Term Loans of each Term Facility pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans of each Term Facility (in each case, within each Term Facility ratably to the remaining Scheduled Term Repayments thereof in forward order of maturity). If any prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans, denominated in Dollars, made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount, such Borrowing shall immediately be converted into Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars. All prepayments shall include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount so prepaid, shall be applied to the payment of interest before application to principal and shall include amounts payable, if any, under Section 3.5.
(b) Payments. All regular installment payments of principal on the Term Loans under a particular Term Facility shall be applied (i) first to the payment of Base Rate Loans under such Term Facility (if any) and second to the payment of Eurocurrency Loans under such Term Facility and (ii) with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, in such order as Borrowers shall request (and in the absence of such request, as Administrative Agent shall determine). All payments shall include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount so paid, shall be applied to the payment of interest before application to principal and shall include amounts payable, if any, under Section 3.5.
4.6 Method and Place of Payment.
(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made to Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto, not later than 12:00 Noon (local time in the city in which the Payment Office for the payment is located) on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds in the Applicable Currency and in each case to the account specified therefor for Administrative Agent or if no account has been so specified at the Payment Office, it being understood that with respect
to payments in Dollars, written telex or telecopy notice by U.S. Borrower to Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in U.S. Borrower’s account at the Payment Office shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon or local time in the city in which the Payment Office for the payment is located on such day) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably to the Lenders entitled to receive any such payment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If and to the extent that any such distribution shall not be so made by Administrative Agent in full on the same day (if payment was actually received by Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon or local time in the city in which the Payment Office for the payment is located on such day), Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender its ratable amount thereof and each such Lender shall be entitled to receive from Administrative Agent, upon demand, interest on such amount at the Federal Funds Rate (or the applicable cost of funds with respect to amounts denominated in an Alternative Currency) for each day from the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent until the date Administrative Agent pays such amount to such Lender.
(b) Any payments under this Agreement which are made by any Borrower later than 12:00 Noon (local time in the city in which the Payment Office for the payment is located) shall, for the purpose of calculation of interest, be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension, except that with respect to Eurocurrency Loans, if such next succeeding Business Day is not in the same month as the date on which such payment would otherwise be due hereunder or under any Note, the due date with respect thereto shall be the next preceding applicable Business Day.
(c) Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the applicable Issuing Lenders hereunder that the applicable Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that the applicable Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the applicable Issuing Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders or the applicable Issuing Lenders, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for amounts in Dollars (and, at Administrative Agent’s cost of funds for amounts in any Alternative Currency) for the first three days and thereafter at the Federal Funds Rate (or such cost of funds rate) plus 1%.
4.7 Net Payments.
(a) All payments made by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document will be made without recoupment, setoff, counterclaim, or other defense. To the extent permitted by applicable law, all payments under any Loan Document (including, without limitation, payments on account of principal and interest, and fees) shall be made by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any Taxes. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires an applicable withholding agent to deduct or withhold any Tax from any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan
Document, then the applicable withholding agent shall make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, to the extent such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the applicable Loan Party shall pay such additional amounts as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.7(a)), the applicable Recipient receives, in aggregate, an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Each Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent within 30 days after it has made any such payment to the applicable Governmental Authority an original or certified receipt issued by such Governmental Authority (or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent) evidencing the payment to such Governmental Authority of all amounts so required to be deducted or withheld from such payment.
(b) The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) OI Europe shall only with respect to Indemnified Taxes imposed on it or attributable to any payments made by or on its behalf, and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.7) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that if a Recipient does not notify the applicable Borrower of any indemnification claim under this Section 4.7(c) within 120 days after such Recipient has received written notice of the claim of a Governmental Authority giving rise to such indemnification claim, the Loan Parties shall not be required to indemnify such Recipient for any incremental interest or penalties resulting from such Recipient’s failure to notify the applicable Borrower within such 120-day period. A certificate delivered to the applicable Borrower (showing in reasonable detail the basis for such calculation) as to the amount of such payment by a Recipient (with a copy to Administrative Agent if such Recipient is not Administrative Agent), absent manifest error, shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon on all parties.
(d) (i) Subject to Section 4.7(e), each Lender shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and Administrative Agent, at such times as are reasonably requested by such Borrower or Administrative Agent, any documentation prescribed by law or information required under any administrative policy or any relevant Governmental Authority, or reasonably requested by such Borrower or Administrative Agent, certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, any withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise required or reasonably necessary to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax or information reporting purposes in an applicable jurisdiction. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any specific documents required below in this Section 4.7(d)) or information expired, obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the applicable Borrower and Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the applicable withholding agent) or promptly notify such Borrower and Administrative Agent of its inability to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.7(d)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(C) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or
submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to each Lender receiving payments in respect of any Loans, Letters of Credit, or Commitments provided to U.S. Borrower:
(A) each such Lender, other than a Non-U.S. Lender, shall deliver to U.S. Borrower and Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement, two duly executed, properly completed originals or copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax,
(B) each such Lender that is a Non-U.S. Lender entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. federal withholding Tax with respect to any payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to U.S. Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, whichever of the following is applicable:
(I) duly executed, properly completed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or any successor thereto claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;
(II) duly executed, properly completed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto;
(III) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”), in substantially the form of Exhibit 4.7(d)-1, to the effect that (i) such Non-U.S. Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of U.S. Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (ii) interest payments on the Loans are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business, and (y) duly executed, properly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E;
(IV) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), duly executed, properly completed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, or any successor thereto, of the Non-U.S. Lender, accompanied by IRS Form W-9, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 4.7(d)-2 or Exhibit 4.7(d)-3, Form W-8IMY, or any other required information, or any successor forms, from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 4.7(d) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that, if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and not a participating Lender), and one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 4.7(d)-4 may be provided by such Non-U.S. Lender on behalf of such beneficial owners, provided such certificates are duly executed and properly completed originals), or any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit U.S. Borrower and Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; or
(V) any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit U.S. Borrower and Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(C) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to U.S. Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by U.S. Borrower or Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by U.S. Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for U.S. Borrower or Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender or Issuing Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine or, if necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.7(d), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.
(e) Each Agent, Lender, Documentation Agent and Arranger will cooperate with ACI, and will do or provide such other things as may be reasonably requested from time to time by ACI, to demonstrate that the requirements of section 128F of the Income Tax Assessment Act of 1936 (Commonwealth of Australia) were satisfied in relation to the issues of Tranche B Term Loans and Revolving Loans made to ACI and Notes issued by ACI under this Agreement, so that payment of interest under each of the above-mentioned Loans will be exempt from withholding tax under the Income Tax Assessment Act of 1936 (Commonwealth of Australia). Non-compliance by any Arranger or Documentation Agent with this paragraph shall not relieve ACI of its obligations under Sections 4.7(a) or 4.7(c).
(f) Each Lender under the Tranche C Term Facility represents and warrants to ACI NZ that as of the Closing Date and on any date that any interest (or any payment deemed by applicable law to be interest) is payable in respect of the Tranche C Term Loans that if it receives any such payment under this Agreement subject to the New Zealand resident withholding tax rules, it holds an “RWT exemption certificate” (as defined in the New Zealand Income Tax Act 2007 (New Zealand)) or otherwise has exempt status in respect of New Zealand resident withholding tax. Non-compliance by any Lender with this clause (f) shall not relieve ACI NZ of its obligations under Section 4.7(a).
(g) ACI NZ or any other Loan Party who makes a payment under this Agreement subject to the New Zealand non-resident withholding tax rules may at any time, and shall if requested by any Lender under the Tranche C Term Facility:
(i) if permitted by applicable law, register as an “Approved Issuer” (as defined in the New Zealand Income Tax Act 2007 (New Zealand)) and register this document with the New Zealand Inland Revenue Department under section 86H of the Stamp and Cheque Duties Xxx 0000 (New Zealand); and
(ii) in respect of each payment of interest (or any payment deemed by applicable law to be interest) in respect of the Tranche C Term Loans to a Lender that receives such
payments subject to the New Zealand non-resident withholding tax rules, make the relevant payment of “Approved Issuer Levy” (as defined in the Stamp and Cheque Duties Act 1971 (New Zealand)) in accordance with section 86K of the Stamp and Cheque Duties Xxx 0000 (New Zealand) in order to reduce (to the extent permitted by law) the applicable level of non-resident withholding tax to zero per cent.
(h) Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.8 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this paragraph (f).
(i) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.7 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.7), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 4.7 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(j) For purposes of this Section 4.7, the term “Lender” shall include any Overdraft Provider or Issuing Lender, and the term “applicable law” shall include FATCA.
(k) Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.7 shall survive the resignation or replacement of any Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender.
