ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATIONS IN LOANS; GENERAL Sample Clauses
Related to ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATIONS IN LOANS; GENERAL
Assignments and Participations in Loans 52 61 (A) Each Lender may assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee; provided, that (a) such Lender shall first obtain the written consent of Agent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, (b) the amount of Commitments and Loans of the assigning Lender being assigned shall in no event be less than the lesser of (i) $5,000,000 or (ii) the entire amount of the Commitments and Loans of such assigning Lender and (c)(i) each such assignment shall be of a pro rata portion of all such assigning Lender's Loans and Commitments hereunder, and (ii) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent for acceptance and recording an Assignment and Assumption Agreement together with (x) a processing and recording fee of $2,500 payable to Agent (which in no event shall be at Borrower's expense or responsibility) and (y) the Note originally delivered to the assigning Lender. Upon receipt of all of the foregoing, Agent shall notify Borrower of such assignment and Borrower shall comply with its obligations under the last sentence of subsection 2.1(D). In the case of an assignment authorized under this subsection 9.1, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would if it were a Lender hereunder. The assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Commitment or assigned portion thereof arising after the date such assignment is effective. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment will give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower to the assignee and that the assignee shall be considered to be a "Lender".
Assignment and Participations (a) Subject to the terms of this Section 9.1, any Lender may make an assignment to a Qualified Assignee of, or sell participations in, at any time or times, the Loan Documents, Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and any Commitment or any portion thereof or interest therein, including any Lender's rights, title, interests, remedies, powers or duties thereunder. Any assignment by a Lender shall: (i) require the consent of Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed with respect to a Qualified Assignee) and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that any assignment to Black Diamond Capital Management or any of its Affiliates shall require the consent of Borrower so long as no Event of Default pursuant to Sections 8.1(a)(i), 8.1(a)(ii), 8.1(h) or 8.1(i) has occurred and is then continuing), and the execution of an assignment agreement (an "Assignment Agreement") substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 9.1(a) and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to, and acknowledged by, Agent; (ii) be conditioned on such assignee Lender representing to the assigning Lender and Agent that it is purchasing the applicable Loans to be assigned to it for its own account, for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof; (iii) after giving effect to any such partial assignment, the assignee Lender shall have Commitments in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and the assigning Lender shall have retained Commitments in an amount at least equal to $2,500,000; and (iv) include a payment to Agent of an assignment fee of $3,500. In the case of an assignment by a Lender under this Section 9.1, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as all
Assignment and Participation It is understood and agreed that each Bank shall have the right to assign at any time all or any portion of its Commitment and interests in the risk relating to the Loans and outstanding Letters of Credit hereunder in an amount equal to or greater than $2,500,000 (which assignment shall be of an equal percentage of its Commitment, the Loans and outstanding Letters of Credit unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent) to any Eligible Assignees with the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent and, if no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrowers, which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may assign without the consent of the Borrowers such portion of its Commitment and interests in the risk relating to the Loans and outstanding Letters of Credit necessary to reach its desired hold level. Any Bank may at any time, and from time to time, assign to any Bank Affiliate of such Bank all or any part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers. It is further agreed that each assignee which executes and delivers to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers hereunder an Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto together with an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the assigning Bank to the Administrative Agent, shall, on the date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, become a party to this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents for all purposes of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and its portion of the Commitment, the Loans and Letters of Credit shall be as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance. The Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Borrowers shall issue to the assignee a Note in the amount of such assignee’s Commitment, dated the date of the assignment and otherwise completed in substantially the form of Exhibit B and to the extent any assigning Bank has retained a portion of its obligations hereunder, an appropriate replacement Note to the assigning Bank reflecting its assignment; (b) the Administrative Agent shall distribute to the Borrowers, the Banks and such assignee a schedule reflecting such changes; and (c) this Credit Agreement shall be appropriately amended to reflect (i) the status of the assignee as a party hereto and (ii) the status and rights of the Banks hereunder. Each Bank shall also have the right to grant participations to one or more banks or other financial institutions in its Commitment, the Loans and outstanding Letters of Credit. The documents evidencing any such participation shall limit such participating bank or financial institutions voting rights solely to those matters set forth in §14.8 which require the vote of each Bank directly affected thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment or participation shall operate to increase the Commitment hereunder or otherwise alter the substantive terms of this Credit Agreement, and no Bank which retains a Commitment hereunder shall have a Commitment of less than $2,500,000, as such amount may be reduced upon reductions in the Total Commitment pursuant to §2.2 hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §18, any Bank (a “Granting Bank”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”) of such Granting Bank, identified as such in writing from time to time delivered by the Granting Bank to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Bank would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Credit Agreement, provided that (a) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to make any Loan by any SPV, (b) the Granting Bank’s obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged, (c) the Granting Bank shall retain the sole right to enforce this Credit Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement and (d) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Bank shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Bank to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by the Granting Bank. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any expense reimbursement, indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Credit Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Bank). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the later of (i) the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any SPV and (ii) the Maturity Date, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §18, any SPV may (A) with notice to, but (except as specified below) without the prior written consent of, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to its Granting Bank or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) providing liquidity and/or credit facilities to or for the account of such SPV to fund the Loans made by such SPV or to support the securities (if any) issued by such SPV to fund such Loans and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans (other than financial statements referred to in §5.4 or §6.4) to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of a surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. In no event shall the Borrowers be obligated to pay to an SPV that has made a Loan any greater amount than the Borrowers would have been obligated to pay under this Agreement if the Granting Bank had made such Loan. An amendment to this paragraph without the written consent of an SPV shall be ineffective insofar as it alters the rights and obligations of such SPV. Anything contained in this §18 to the contrary notwithstanding, any Bank may at any time pledge, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Credit Agreement (including all or any portion of its Notes) to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. 341. No such pledge or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Bank from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.
Lender Assignments and Participations (a) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Advances, its Notes, and its Commitments); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee; (ii) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, any such partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 unless the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents to a lower amount (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to such lower amount unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; (iii) each assignment of a Lender’s rights and obligations with respect to Advances and its Commitments shall be of a constant, and not varying, percentage of all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement as a Lender and the Notes (other than rights of reimbursement and indemnity arising before the effective date of such assignment); and (iv) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Notes subject to such assignment and the assignor or assignee Lender shall pay a processing fee of $3,500; provided that such processing fee shall not be required for the initial assignments made by Amegy as a Lender in connection with the initial syndication of its Commitments hereunder and such processing fee may be waived at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent. Upon execution, delivery, and acceptance of such Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the processing fee, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of such assignment, have the obligations, rights, and benefits of a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this Section 9.7, the assignor, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if requested, new Notes are issued to the assignor and the assignee. The assignee shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent any applicable forms or certifications in accordance with Section 2.12(e).
Assignments and Participations (a) With the prior written consent of Administrative Borrower, which consent of Administrative Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned and shall not be required (1) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (2) in connection with an assignment to a Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate (other than individuals) of a Lender; provided that Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to a proposed assignment unless it objects thereto by written notice to Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof, and with the prior written consent of Agent, which consent of Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and shall not be required in connection with an assignment to a Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate (other than individuals) of a Lender, any Lender may assign and delegate to one or more assignees so long as such prospective assignee is an Eligible Transferee (each, an “Assignee”; provided, however, that no Loan Party or Affiliate of a Loan Party shall be permitted to become an Assignee) all or any portion of the Obligations, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, in a minimum amount (unless waived by Agent) of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 (except such minimum amount shall not apply to (x) an assignment or delegation by any Lender to any other Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender or (y) a group of new Lenders, each of which is an Affiliate of each other or a Related Fund of such new Lender to the extent that the aggregate amount to be assigned to all such new Lenders is at least $5,000,000); provided, however, that (A) no Term Loan Lender shall make any such assignment if such assignment would result in more than four (4) Term Loan Lenders existing at any one time under this Agreement, unless prior to or in connection with such assignment, one or more of the Revolving Lenders shall have exercised their Term Loan purchase rights under Section 2.15 and (B) Borrowers and Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, have been given to Administrative Borrower and Agent by such Lender and the Assignee, (ii) such Lender and its Assignee have delivered to Administrative Borrower and Agent an Assignment and Acceptance and Agent has notified the assigning Lender of its receipt thereof in accordance with Section 13.1(b), and (iii) unless waived by Agent, the assigning Lender or Assignee has paid to Agent for Agent’s separate account a processing fee in the amount of $3,500.
Assignments and Participation (a) Each Lender may assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the Security Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) with the prior written consent of the Borrower to the extent the assignee thereunder is not then a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, (ii) to the extent the assignee thereunder is not then a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the amount of the Commitment or Note(s) to be held by such assignee (after giving effect to such assignment and any other assignments being made concurrently therewith to the same assignee by one or more other Lenders) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000, unless such assignment is of the entire amount of the assigning Lender's Commitment, and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, a Lender Assignment, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $2,500.

Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender having a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase, from Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (with respect to the Revolving Commitments) of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder. In the event that Borrower shall fail for any reason to reimburse Issuing Bank as provided in Section 2.4(d), Issuing Bank shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of such Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitments. Each Lender with a Revolving Commitment shall make available to Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank an amount equal to its respective participation, in an Equivalent Amount in Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of Administrative Agent specified in such notice, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of Issuing Bank is located) after the date notified by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Issuing Bank. In the event that any Lender with a Revolving Commitment fails to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank on such business day the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 2.4(e), Issuing Bank (acting through the Administrative Agent) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by Issuing Bank for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this Section 2.4(e) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender with a Revolving Commitment to recover from Issuing Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section in the event that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Issuing Bank. In the event Issuing Bank (acting through the Administrative Agent) shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank (acting through the Administrative Agent) shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.4(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by Issuing Bank from Borrower in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on Appendix B or at such other address as such Lender may request.
Assignments, Designations and Participations (a) Each Lender may (i) with the prior consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and which consent shall not be required in the event of an assignment or grant pursuant to Sections 8.07(g) or (h) or an assignment to any other Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund) and (ii) for so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and provided, in any event, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Agent within ten (10) days after having received notice thereof, and which consent shall not be required in the event of an assignment or grant pursuant to Sections 8.07(g) or (h) or an assignment to any other Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund), assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Revolving Credit Advances owed to it and any Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (A) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement, (B) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (C) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, and (D) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Assumption, together with any Note subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, which fee may be waived by the Agent in its sole discretion if such assignment is to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, (1) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (2) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
Assignment; Participations (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the JLM Domestic Entities, MacDonald, the Bank and their respective successors and assigns, except that the JLM Domestic Entities and MacDonald may not assign or transfer THEIR RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS hereunder. The Bank may, with the prior written consent of the JLM Domestic Entities or MacDonald, assign, or sell participation in, all or any part of any Loan or its rights and obligations under the Letters of Credit to another bank or other entity, in which event (i) in the case of an assignment, upon notice thereof by the Bank to the JLM Domestic Entities, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would have if it were a Bank hereunder) and (ii) in the case of a participation, the participant shall have no rights under the Facility Documents and all amounts payable by the JLM Domestic Entities under Articles 2 and 3 shall be determined as if the Bank had not sold such participation. The agreement executed by the Bank in favor of the participant shall not give the participant the right to require the Bank to take or omit to take any action hereunder except action directly relating to (i) the extension of a payment date with respect to any portion of the principal of or interest on any amount outstanding hereunder allocated to such participant, (ii) the reduction of the principal amount outstanding hereunder or (iii) the reduction of the rate of interest payable on such amount or any amount of fees payable hereunder to a rate or amount, as the case may be, below that which the participant is entitled to receive under its agreement with the Bank. The Bank may furnish any information concerning any JLM Entity or MacDonald in the possession of the Bank from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants); provided that the Bank shall require any such prospective assignee or such participant (prospective or otherwise) to agree in writing to maintain the confidentiality of such information.
Repayment and Participations of Swingline Loans The Borrower agrees to repay each Swingline Loan within one Business Day of demand therefor by the Swingline Lender that made such Swingline Loan and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days after the date such Swingline Loan was made; provided, that the proceeds of a Swingline Loan may not be used to pay a Swingline Loan. Any Swingline Lender making demand for repayment of a Swingline Loan made by such Swingline Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such demand on the date such demand is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Swingline Loans on the Swingline Maturity Date (or such earlier date as a Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree in writing with respect to Swingline Loans made by such Swingline Lender). In lieu of demanding repayment of any outstanding Swingline Loan from the Borrower, the Swingline Lender that made such Swingline Loan may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs each applicable Swingline Lender to act on its behalf for such purpose), request a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans from the Lenders in an amount equal to the principal balance of such Swingline Loan. The amount limitations contained in the second sentence of Section 2.1.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of such Revolving Loans made pursuant to this subsection. Such Swingline Lender shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any such borrowing of Revolving Loans not later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern time at least one Business Day prior to the proposed date of such borrowing. Promptly after receipt of such notice of borrowing of Revolving Loans from a Swingline Lender under the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing. Not later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern time on the proposed date of such borrowing, each Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Revolving Loans to the applicable Swingline Lender, which shall apply such proceeds to repay such Swingline Loan. If the Lenders are prohibited from making Revolving Loans required to be made under this subsection for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, the occurrence of any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 10.1.(e) or (f), each Lender shall purchase from the applicable Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan, by directly purchasing a participation in such Swingline Loan in such amount and paying the proceeds thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds. A Lender’s obligation to purchase such a participation in a Swingline Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Administrative Agent, any Swingline Lender or any other Person whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default (including without limitation, any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 10.1. (e) or (f)), or the termination of any Lender’s Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of an event or condition which has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact made available to the applicable Swingline Lender by any Lender, such Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the applicable Swingline Lender’s demand therefor, and until such time as such Lender makes the required payment, the applicable Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of such unpaid participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than those provisions requiring the other Lenders to purchase a participation therein). Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Loans, and any other amounts due it hereunder, to the applicable Swingline Lender to fund Swingline Loans in the amount of the participation in Swingline Loans that such Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise).
