The Letters of Credit Prior to the Closing Date, the Existing Issuing Banks have issued the Existing Letters of Credit which from and after the Closing Date shall constitute Letters of Credit hereunder. Each Issuing Bank (other than the Existing Issuing Banks) severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) in U.S. Dollars for the account of the Borrower in support of obligations (including, without limitation, performance, bid and similar bonding obligations and credit enhancement) of the Borrower and its Affiliates, from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Business Day before the Termination Date in an aggregate Available Amount (i) for all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank not to exceed at any time the lesser of (x) the Letter of Credit Facility at such time and (y) such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment at such time and (ii) for each such Letter of Credit not to exceed the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders at such time; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate Available Amount for all Letters of Credit exceed $200,000,000; provided, further, that neither Bank of America, National Association, nor SunTrust Bank shall be required, without the consent of such Issuing Bank, to issue Letters of Credit in excess of $100,000,000 outstanding for each such Issuing Bank. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of the Borrower or the beneficiary to require renewal) later than the Business Day before the Termination Date. Within the limits of the Letter of Credit Facility, and subject to the limits referred to above, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(b), repay any Letter of Credit Advances resulting from drawings thereunder pursuant to Section 2.04(c) and request the issuance of additional Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(b); provided, however, that neither Bank of America, National Association, nor SunTrust Bank shall be required to issue Letters of Credit in excess of $100,000,000 outstanding for each such Issuing Bank.
Compensation for Facility Letters of Credit (a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders (including the Issuing Bank), based upon the Lenders’ respective Percentages, a per annum fee (the “Facility Letter of Credit Fee”) as a percentage of the face amount of each Facility Letter of Credit outstanding equal to the LIBOR Applicable Margin in effect from time to time hereunder while such Facility Letter of Credit is outstanding. The Facility Letter of Credit Fee relating to any Facility Letter of Credit shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter following the issuance of such Facility Letter of Credit and, to the extent any such fees are then due and unpaid, on the Facility Termination Date or any other earlier date that the Obligations are due and payable in full. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (on the same day as received by the Administrative Agent if received prior to noon (Cleveland time) on such day and otherwise on the next Business Day) remit such Facility Letter of Credit Fees, when paid, to the other Lenders in accordance with their Percentages thereof. The Borrower shall not have any liability to any Lender for the failure of the Administrative Agent to promptly deliver funds to any such Lender and shall be deemed to have made all such payments on the date the respective payment is made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, provided such payment is received by the time specified in Section 2.13 hereof.
New Letters of Credit So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
Outstanding Letters of Credit On the effective date of such increase, each Increasing Lender and each New Lender (i) will be deemed to have purchased a participation in each then outstanding Letter of Credit equal to its Ratable Share of such Letter of Credit and the participation of each other Lender in such Letter of Credit shall be adjusted accordingly and (ii) will acquire (and will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to) its Ratable Share of all outstanding Participation Advances.
Letter of Credit Payments If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
Letters of Credit (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.
Requesting Letters of Credit Each Letter of Credit shall be issued, increased, or extended pursuant to a Letter of Credit Application or Letter of Credit Application Amendment, as applicable, given by the Borrower to the Issuing Bank in writing or by telecopy promptly confirmed in writing, such Letter of Credit Application or Letter of Credit Application Amendment being given not later than 1:00 p.m. (local time at the Applicable Lending Office of the Agent) on the third Business Day before the date of the proposed issuance, increase, or extension of the Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit Application or Letter of Credit Application Amendment shall be fully completed and shall specify the information required therein (including the proposed form of the Letter of Credit or change thereto), and shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. Upon receipt by the Issuing Bank of the Letter of Credit Application or Letter of Credit Application Amendment, the Issuing Bank shall give prompt notice thereof to the Agent, and the Agent shall promptly inform the Banks of the proposed Letter of Credit or change thereto. Subject to the satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent, the Issuing Bank shall, by 4:00 p.m. (local time at the Applicable Lending Office of the Agent), on the date requested by the Borrower for the issuance, increase, or extension of such Letter of Credit issue, increase, or extend such Letter of Credit to the specified beneficiary. Upon the date of the issuance, increase, or extension of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold to each other Bank and each other Bank shall be deemed to have purchased from the Issuing Bank a ratable participation in the related Letter of Credit or change thereto. The Issuing Bank shall notify the Agent of each Letter of Credit issued, increased, or extended and the date and amount of each Bank's participation in such Letter of Credit, and the Agent shall in turn notify the Banks.
Commitment to Issue Letters of Credit Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and so long as no Stop Issuance Notice is in effect, each Issuing Bank in reliance upon the agreements of the other Banks set forth in this Section 2.18 agrees to issue Letters of Credit from time to time before the Letter of Credit Termination Date applicable to such Issuing Bank upon the request of the Borrower; provided that immediately after each Letter of Credit is issued (x) the Total Outstanding Amount shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments, (y) the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities of all Banks shall not exceed $100,000,000 and (z) the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities in respect of Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment without the consent of such Issuing Bank; and provided further that if (i) the Termination Date has been extended as to some but not all Banks pursuant to Section 2.01(b) and (ii) the Borrower requests the issuance of a Letter of Credit which expires later than the Letter of Credit Termination Date in effect prior to such extension, then compliance with clause (x) above shall be determined solely with reference to the Banks whose Commitments have been so extended. If the Borrower so requests (in order to accommodate a Letter of Credit having an available amount greater than an Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment or otherwise), an Issuing Bank may assign all or a portion of its Letter of Credit Commitment to another Issuing Bank that agrees to accept such assignment. Upon the date of issuance by an Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Bank, and each Bank shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit and the related Letter of Credit Liabilities in the proportion its respective Commitment bears to the aggregate Commitments. Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Bank further acknowledges and agrees that its participation in each Letter of Credit will be automatically adjusted to reflect such Bank’s proportion of the Commitments at each time such Bank’s Commitment is amended pursuant to an increase of the Commitments in accordance with Section 2.17, an assignment in accordance with Section 9.06 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement.
