No part of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit will be used for any purpose which violates the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board.
Purpose of Loans and Letters of Credit The Borrower will use the Letters of Credit and the proceeds of the Loans to (a) provide for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, Permitted Acquisitions), (b) on the Closing Date to refinance the Existing Credit Agreement, and (c) pay fees and expenses relating to any of the foregoing.
The Letter of Credit Subfacility (a) On the terms and conditions set forth herein (i) the Issuing Bank agrees, (A) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Revolving Termination Date to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers, and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsections 3.02(c) and 3.02(d), and (B) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit; and (ii) the Banks severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit Issued for the account of the Borrowers; provided, that the Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to Issue, and no Bank shall be obligated to participate in, any Letter of Credit if as of the date of Issuance of such Letter of Credit (the "Issuance Date") (1) the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations plus the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, Term Loans and Bid Loans exceeds the combined Commitments, (2) the participation of any Bank in the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations plus the Effective Amount of the Revolving Loans and Term Loans of such Bank exceeds such Bank's Commitment, or (3) the Effective Amount of L/C Obligations exceeds the L/C Commitment.
