Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit The Borrower may from time to time request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower by delivering to the Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower promptly following the issuance thereof. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).
Commitment to Issue Letters of Credit (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, upon the execution and delivery by the Borrower of a letter of credit application on the L/C Issuer’s customary form (a “Letter of Credit Application”), the L/C Issuer on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders and in reliance upon the agreement of the Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in this §4 and upon the representations and warranties of the Borrower contained herein, agrees, in its individual capacity, to issue, extend and renew for the account of the Borrower one or more standby letters of credit (individually, a “Letter of Credit”), in such form as may be requested from time to time by the Borrower, and agreed to by the L/C Issuer; provided, however, that, after giving effect to such request, (i) the sum of the aggregate Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit at any time, (ii) the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans plus the Maximum Drawing Amount and all Unpaid Reimbursement Obligations, plus the outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Total Commitment at such time and (y) the Borrowing Base at such time. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the issuance or amendment so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower or such Subsidiary that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. (b) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if: (i) Subject to §4.1.6, the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or (ii) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date. (c) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or request that the L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Restatement Date, or shall impose upon the L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date hereof and which the L/C Issuer in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ material to it; (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally; (iii) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars; (iv) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder; or (v) a default of any Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations to fund under §4.1.4. exists or any Revolving Credit Lender is at such time a Delinquent Lender hereunder, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with Borrower or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to §2.11.1(d)) with respect to such Delinquent Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Exposure as to which the L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion. (d) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof. (e) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit. (f) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in §14 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in §14 included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.
Issuance of Letter of Credit Upon satisfaction or waiver (in accordance with subsection 10.6) of the conditions set forth in subsection 4.3, the Issuing Lender shall issue the requested Letter of Credit in accordance with the Issuing Lender's standard operating procedures.
Issuance of Commitment Shares Immediately upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall issue to the Investor as consideration for the Investor entering into this Agreement 75,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Initial Commitment Shares") and shall deliver to the Transfer Agent a letter in the form as set forth as Exhibit E attached hereto with respect to the issuance of the Initial Commitment Shares. In connection with each purchase of Purchase Shares hereunder, the Company agrees to issue to the Investor a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Commitment Shares” and together with the Initial Commitment Shares, the “Commitment Shares”) equal to the product of (x) 225,000 and (y) the Purchase Amount Fraction. The “Purchase Amount Fraction” shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which is the Purchase Amount purchased by the Investor with respect to such purchase of Purchase Shares and the denominator of which is Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). The Additional Commitment Shares shall be equitably adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction. The Initial Commitment Shares shall be issued in certificated form and shall bear the Restrictive Legend The Investor agrees that the Investor shall not pledge, transfer or sell the Commitment Shares until the earlier of (a) 600 Business Days (30 Monthly Periods) from the date hereof or (b) the date on which this Agreement has been terminated, provided, however, that such restrictions shall not apply: (i) in connection with any transfers to or among affiliates (as defined in the Exchange Act), or (ii) if an Event of Default has occurred, or any event which, after notice and/or lapse of time, would become an Event of Default, including any failure by the Company to timely issue Purchase Shares under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Investor may transfer Commitment Shares to a third party in order to settle a sale made by the Investor where the Investor reasonably expects the Company to deliver additional Purchase Shares to the Investor under this Agreement so long as the Investor maintains ownership of the amount of Commitment Shares received up to that point by "replacing" such Commitment Shares so transferred with new Purchase Shares when the new Purchase Shares are actually issued by the Company to the Investor.
