Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings (a) The Borrower agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed by the Borrower, an “Unpaid Drawing”), by making payment in Dollars (in the case of all Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit), Euros (in the case of Euro Denominated Letters of Credit) or Sterling (in the case of Sterling Denominated Letters of Credit) not later than one Business Day following receipt by the Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement (provided that no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M. (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 was reimbursed by the Borrower therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time for Revolving Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the third Business Day following notice to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent or the respective Issuing Lender of such payment or disbursement, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by the respective Account Party) at a rate per annum which shall be (x) in the case of Dollar Denominated Letters of Credit, Sterling Denominated Letters of Credit, the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans in each case maintained as Base Rate Loans, as in effect from time to time plus 2% and (y) in the case of Euro Denominated Letters of Credit, the Overnight Euro Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Euro Denominated Loans as in effect from time to time plus any Mandatory Costs plus 2%, in each such case, with interest to be payable on demand, provided further, that it is understood and agreed, however, that the notices referred to above in this clause (a) and in the immediately preceding proviso shall not be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 shall have occurred and be continuing (in which case the Unpaid Drawings shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by each Credit Party) and shall bear interest at the rate provided in the foregoing proviso on and after the third Business Day following the respective Drawing). The respective Issuing Lender shall give the Borrower prompt notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit, provided that the failure to give, or any delay in giving, any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement.
(b) The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 3.05 to reimburse each Issuing Lender with respect to drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit issued by it (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 the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Lender or as a Participant), including, without limitation, any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse any Issuing Lender 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 on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).
Letter of Credit Facility (i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue letters of credit for the account of Borrowers (each, an “L/C”) or to purchase participations or execute indemnities, guarantees or reimbursement obligations (each such undertaking, an “L/C Undertaking”) with respect to letters of credit issued by an Underlying Issuer (as of the Closing Date, the prospective Underlying Issuer will be W▇▇▇▇ Fargo) for the account of Borrowers. To request the issuance of an L/C or an L/C Undertaking (or the amendment, renewal, or extension of an outstanding L/C or L/C Undertaking), the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Lender) to the Issuing Lender and Collateral Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of an L/C or L/C Undertaking, or identifying the L/C or L/C Undertaking to be amended, renewed, or extended, the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension, the date on which such L/C or L/C Undertaking is to expire, the amount of such L/C or L/C Undertaking, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof (or of the Underlying Letter of Credit, as applicable), and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such L/C or L/C Undertaking. If requested by the Issuing Lender, the Borrowers also shall be applicants under the application with respect to any Underlying Letter of Credit that is to be the subject of an L/C Undertaking. The Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue a Letter of Credit if any of the following would result after giving effect to the requested Letter of Credit:
(A) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the amount by which the lesser of (v) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or (w) forty-five percent (45%) of the Compressed Sale Value of Eligible Stations, exceeds the amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and the amount of outstanding Term Loans, or
(B) the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $500,000. Borrowers and the Revolving Credit Lenders acknowledge and agree that certain Underlying Letters of Credit may be issued to support letters of credit that already are outstanding as of the Closing Date. Each Letter of Credit (and corresponding Underlying Letter of Credit) shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Issuing Lender (in the exercise of its discretion), including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars. If Issuing Lender is obligated to advance funds under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers immediately shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement to Issuing Lender by paying to Collateral Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on the date that such L/C Disbursement is made, if Borrowers shall have received written or telephonic notice of such L/C Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., California time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by Borrowers prior to such time on such date, then not later than 11:00 a.m., California time, on (i) the Business Day that Borrowers receive such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., California time, on the date of receipt, and, in the absence of such reimbursement, the L/C Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and, thereafter, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Loans under Section 2.02. To the extent an L/C Disbursement is deemed to be an Advance hereunder, Borrowers’ obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Advance. Promptly following receipt by Collateral Agent of any payment from Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, Collateral Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Revolving Credit Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(v) to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such Revolving Credit Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interests may appear.
(ii) Promptly following receipt of a notice of L/C Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(i), each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Advance deemed made pursuant to the foregoing subsection on the same terms and conditions as if Borrowers had requested such Advance and Collateral Agent shall promptly pay to Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Lender or the Revolving Credit Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted and assigned to each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment, and each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased and assumed, a participation in each Letter of Credit, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Risk Participation Liability of such Letter of Credit, and each such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to Collateral Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any payments made by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Collateral Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender and not reimbursed by Borrowers on the date due as provided in clause (i) of this Section 2.01(a), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to Borrowers for any reason. Each Revolving Credit Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Collateral Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share pursuant to this Section 2.01(b)(ii) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 3 hereof. If any such Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to Collateral Agent the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any payments made by the Issuing Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section, Collateral Agent (for the account of the Issuing Lender) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Credit Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate until paid in full, or if not paid in full within three (3) Business Days, then at the Base Rate until paid in full.
(iii) Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Revolving Credit Lenders harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or liability, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Revolving Credit Lenders arising out of or in connection with any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the Underlying Issuer’s regulations and interpretations of any Underlying Letter of Credit or by Issuing Lender’s interpretations of any L/C issued by Issuing Lender to or for such Borrower’s account, even though this interpretation may be different from such Borrower’s own, and each Borrower understands and agrees that the Revolving Credit Lenders shall not be liable for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following Borrowers’ instructions or those contained in the Letter of Credit or any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto. Each Borrower understands that the L/C Undertakings may require Issuing Lender to indemnify the Underlying Issuer for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrowers against such Underlying Issuer. Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, save, defend, and hold the Revolving Credit Lenders harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense (including reasonable attorneys fees), or liability incurred by the Revolving Credit Lenders under any L/C Undertaking as a result of the Revolving Credit Lenders’ indemnification of any Underlying Issuer; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or any other Revolving Credit Lender.
(iv) Each Borrower hereby authorizes and directs any Underlying Issuer to deliver to the Issuing Lender all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by such Underlying Issuer pursuant to such Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the Issuing Lender’s instructions with respect to all matters arising in connection with such Underlying Letter of Credit and the related application.
(v) Any and all charges, commissions, fees, and costs incurred by the Issuing Lender relating to Underlying Letters of Credit immediately shall be reimbursable by Borrowers to Collateral Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender; it being acknowledged and agreed by each Borrower that, as of the Closing Date, the issuance charge imposed by the prospective Underlying Issuer is .825% per annum times the face amount of each Underlying Letter of Credit, that such issuance charge may be changed from time to time, and that the Underlying Issuer also imposes a schedule of charges for amendments, extensions, drawings, and renewals.
(vi) If by reason of (x) any change in any applicable law, treaty, rule, or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority, or (y) compliance by the Underlying Issuer or the Revolving Credit Lenders with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto):
(A) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder, or
(B) there shall be imposed on the Underlying Issuer or the Revolving Credit Lenders any other condition regarding any Underlying Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit issued pursuant hereto; and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to the Lenders of issuing, making, guaranteeing, or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof by the Revolving Credit Lenders, then, and in any such case, Collateral Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrower Representative, and Borrowers shall pay on demand such amounts as Collateral Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate the Revolving Credit Lenders for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Revolving Credit Loans hereunder. The determination by Collateral Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section, as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.
