through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 9.07 or a payment made by a Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all such Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all such Lender Parties at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender Party under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all such Lender Parties hereunder at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all such Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of such Lender Parties at such time, such Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from such other Lender Parties such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender Party, such purchase from each other Lender Party shall be rescinded and such other Lender Party shall repay to the purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender Party to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lender Parties) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender Party’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrowers agree that any Lender Party so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be.
substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, payable to such Lender Party in a principal amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender Party. All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Note shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.
On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.18(d), the Administrative Agent shall provide reasonable prior notice to the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Acceding Lender) and the Borrowers, by email or facsimile, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Acceding Lender on such date.
(a) On the Effective Date, each Lender that will have a greater Pro Rata Share of the Facility upon the Effective Date than its Pro Rata Share (under and as defined in the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement) immediately prior to the Effective Date (each, a “Purchasing Lender”), without executing an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed to have purchased assignments pro rata from each Lender that will have a smaller Pro Rata Share of the Facility upon the Effective Date than its Pro Rata Share (under and as defined in the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement) of the Facility (under and as defined in the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement) immediately prior to the Effective Date (each, a “Selling Lender”) in all such Selling Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender (collectively, the “Assigned Rights and Obligations”) so that, after giving effect to such assignments, each Lender shall have its respective Commitment as set forth in Schedule I hereto and a corresponding Pro Rata Share of all Advances then outstanding under the Facility. Each such purchase hereunder shall be at par for a purchase price equal to the principal amount of the loans and without recourse, representation or warranty, except that each Selling Lender shall be deemed to represent and warrant to each Purchasing Lender that the Assigned Rights and Obligations of such Selling Lender are not subject to any Liens created by that Selling Lender. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the aggregate amount of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Advances outstanding at any time exceed its Commitment as set forth in Schedule I hereto.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall calculate the net amount to be paid or received by each Lender in connection with the assignments effected hereunder on the Effective Date. Each Lender required to make a payment pursuant to this Section shall make the net amount of its required payment available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York time) on the Effective Date. The Administrative Agent shall distribute on the Effective Date the proceeds of such amounts to the Lenders entitled to receive payments pursuant to this Section, pro rata in proportion to the amount each such Lender is entitled to receive at the primary address set forth in Schedule I hereto or at such other address as such Lender may request in writing to the Administrative Agent.
(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a discharge, extinguishment or novation of the Obligations of the Loan Parties outstanding under the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement or any instruments securing the same, which Obligations shall remain outstanding under this Agreement after the date hereof as “Revolving Credit Advances” except as expressly modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently with this Agreement.
To the extent any calculations described in Sections 5.04(a) or 5.04(b) are required to be made on any date of determination other than the last day of a fiscal quarter of the Parent Guarantor, such calculations shall be made on a pro forma basis to account for any acquisitions, dispositions or reclassifications of Assets, and the incurrence or repayment of any Debt for Borrowed Money relating to such Assets, that have occurred since the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Parent Guarantor most recently ended. All such calculations shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
then, and in any such event, the Administrative Agent (i) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, by written notice to the Borrowers, declare the Commitments of each Lender Party and the obligation of each Lender Party to make Advances (other than Letter of Credit Advances by an Issuing Bank or a Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c)) and of each Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit to be terminated, whereupon the same shall forthwith terminate, (ii) shall at the request, or may with the consent, of the Required Lenders, (A) by written notice to the Borrowers, declare the Notes, the Advances, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than Guaranteed Hedge Agreements, for which the terms of such agreements shall govern and control) to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Notes, all such interest and all such amounts
shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers and (B) by notice to each party required under the terms of any agreement in support of which a Letter of Credit is issued, request that all Obligations under such agreement be declared to be due and payable and (iii) shall at the request, or may with the consent of the Required Lenders, proceed to enforce its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents for the ratable benefit of the Lenders by appropriate proceedings; provided, however, that in the event of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Loan Party under any Bankruptcy Law, (y) the Commitments of each Lender Party and the obligation of each Lender Party to make Advances (other than Letter of Credit Advances by an Issuing Bank or a Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c)) and of each Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit shall automatically be terminated and (z) the Notes, all such interest and all such amounts shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Loan Parties.
and corporate counsel in such jurisdiction for all similarly conflicted parties). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to any Secured Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not merely of collection.
This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
Agreement and this Guaranty, and each reference in any other Loan Document to the “Loan Agreement”, “Guaranty”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to this Agreement and this Guaranty, shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement and this Guaranty as supplemented by such Guaranty Supplement.
and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes, the Advances and the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lender Parties; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes it to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law or regulations. The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender Party prompt notice of each notice given to it by any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, no Person identified as a syndication agent, documentation agent, sustainability structuring agent, joint lead arranger or joint bookrunner, in such Person’s capacity as such, shall have any obligations or duties to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party under any of such Loan Documents.
the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall constitute the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers as a trustee or fiduciary of any Person, and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arrangers shall be bound to account to the Lenders for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of its delegates or agents or for supervising them; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall absolve the Administrative Agent for any liability found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Borrowers shall not commence any proceeding against any of the Administrative Agent’s directors, officers or employees with respect to the Administrative Agent’s acts or omissions relating to the Facility or the Loan Documents.
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrowers under Section 9.04, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrowers. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 8.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender Party or any other Person. To the extent that the Administrative Agent shall perform any of its duties or obligations hereunder through an Affiliate or sub-agent, then all references to the “Administrative Agent” in this Section 8.05 shall be deemed to include any such Affiliate or sub-agent, as applicable.
appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 and which appointment shall be subject to the consent of the Operating Partnership, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section 8.06 no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as an Agent shall have become effective, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Administrative Agent under this Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.08(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 8.08(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.
(ii)Subject to Section 9.07 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrowers or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advance (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any Payment Recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Advances acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Advances are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.
governed by clause (iii) above), (v) amend Section 2.13, Section 2.05(a) (only with respect to the requirement in such Section that any election to terminate or reduce outstanding Commitments must be done ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments), or this Section 9.01, (vi) increase the Commitment of any Lender or subject any Lender to any additional obligations (except, in each case, to the extent contemplated in Section 2.18) without the consent of such Lender, (vii) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Advances of any Lender (other than any Guaranteed Obligations with respect to any Guaranteed Hedge Agreement and except to the extent of any reduction resulting from a reallocation effected pursuant to Section 2.21(a)), or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder to any Lender (other than as provided in Section 2.07(d) or (f)), in each case without the consent of such Lender (except as provided in Section 2.23), (viii) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder to any Lender in each case without the consent of such Lender (other than as provided in Section 2.07(d) or (f)), (ix) extend the Termination Date without the consent of each affected Lender, other than as provided by Section 2.16 or 9.01(c), (x) [reserved], (xi) [reserved], (xii) amend clause (iv) or clause (v) of Section 5.01(p) without the consent of each affected Lender, or (xiii) contractually subordinate in right of payment the Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents to any other Recourse Debt without the consent of each Lender; provided further that (A) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the applicable Issuing Bank, in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement; (B) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; and (C) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, amend, waive or consent to any departure from, the provisions of Section 2.07(f) or the defined terms herein pertaining to the establishment, replacement or computation of any interest rate or interest rate margin applicable to any Obligations hereunder (except, in each case, in accordance with Sections 2.07(d), 2.07(f) and 9.01(f)). In addition, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature in any of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to amend such this Agreement and/or the applicable Loan Document without any further action or consent of any other party if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.
or, as any of the abovementioned parties, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties and, as to each other party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent. All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, be effective on the third (3rd) Business Day after being deposited in the mails, when telegraphed, to be effective on the date delivered to the telegraph company, and, when faxed or emailed, be effective on the date of being confirmed by faxed or confirmed by email, respectively, except that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article II, III or VIII shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent. Delivery by email or facsimile of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document or of any Exhibit hereto or thereto to be executed and delivered hereunder shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof, provided that any such email shall, in all cases, include an attachment (in PDF format or similar format) containing a copy of such document including the legible signature of the person who executed the same.
assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the Transfer Date) shall in no event be less than the Commitment Minimum or an integral multiple in excess thereof of ¥100,000,000 (or, in each case, such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of effectiveness of such assignment, the Operating Partnership), (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) no such assignments shall be permitted until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Lender Parties that syndication of the Commitments hereunder has been completed, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, (v) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.10(f) or 9.01(b) shall be an assignment of all rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement and (vi) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and, except if such assignment is being made by a Lender to an Affiliate or Fund Affiliate of such Lender, the Processing Fee; provided, however, that for each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.10(f) or 9.01(b), the Borrowers shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent the Processing Fee; provided further that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive the Processing Fee in the case of any assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such assignment will be made by any Lender to any Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this sentence. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances and participants in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.07(a), then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
provide prior written notice of such disclosure to the Operating Partnership in order to permit the Operating Partnership to seek confidential treatment of such information, (d) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender, (e) to any service provider of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, provided that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made pursuant to this clause (e) will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and shall have agreed in writing to keep such Confidential Information confidential, (f) to any Person that holds a security interest in all or any portion of any Lender’s rights under this Agreement, provided that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made pursuant to this clause (f) will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and shall (except with respect to any Applicable Governmental Authority) have agreed in writing to keep such Confidential Information confidential, (g) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (h) to the extent required for the purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense or a defense against a claim that the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, has breached its confidentiality obligations, (i) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.12, to any actual or prospective party to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (j) to the other Lender Parties and (k) with the prior written consent of the Borrowers; and in each case the Borrowers hereby consent to the disclosure by the Administrative Agent and any Lender Party of Confidential Information that is made in strict accordance with clauses (a) to (k), and the disclosure of other information relating to the Borrowers and the transactions hereunder that does not constitute Confidential Information. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or any other document, the parties hereby agree that (x) each party (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such party) may each disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the United States tax treatment and United States tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to each party relating to such United States tax treatment and United States tax structure and (y) the Administrative Agent may disclose the identity of any Defaulting Lender to the other Lenders and the Borrowers if requested by any Lender or any Borrower. In acting as the Administrative Agent, SMBC shall be regarded as acting through its agency division which shall be treated as a separate division from any of its other divisions or departments and, notwithstanding any of the Administrative Agent’s disclosure obligations hereunder, any information received by any other division or department of SMBC may be treated as confidential and shall not be regarded as having been given to SMBC’s agency division. Each Recipient may disclose any Confidential Information pursuant to and subject to clauses (b) and (c) above. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prohibits any individual from communicating or disclosing Confidential Information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules, or regulations to any Applicable Governmental Authority without any notification to any person.
