Letters of Credit. During the Availability Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Banks agree to issue Letters of Credit (or amend, extend or increase an outstanding Letter of Credit) at the request and for the account of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (the “Applicable Account Party”) in the aggregate Dollar Equivalent up to but not exceeding the Letter of Credit Sublimit and denominated in dollars or in a Permitted Foreign Currency; provided # the stated amount of each Letter of Credit shall not be less than $100,000 for Letters of Credit issued in dollars (or, in the case of a Letter of Credit issued in a Permitted Foreign Currency, the smallest amount of such Permitted Foreign Currency that is an integral multiple of 100,000 units of such currency and that has a Dollar Equivalent in excess of $100,000) or, in each case, such lesser amount as is acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank; # after giving effect to such issuance or increase, in no event shall # the Aggregate Total Exposure exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect or # any [[Organization C:Organization]]’s Total Exposure exceed such [[Organization C:Organization]]’s Revolving Commitment; # after giving effect to such issuance or increase, in no event shall the Letter of Credit Usage exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect, # after giving effect to such issuance or increase, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Issuing Bank in writing, in no event shall the Letter of Credit Usage with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank exceed the Letter of Credit Issuer Sublimit of such Issuing Bank then in effect, and # in no event shall any Letter of Credit have an expiration date later than the earlier of # the fifth Business Day prior to the Maturity Date and # the date which is twelve months from the original date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Subject to the foregoing, the applicable Issuing Bank may agree that a Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each, unless the applicable Issuing Bank elects not to extend for any such additional period and provides notice to that effect to the Borrower and the Applicable Account Party; provided that such Issuing Bank shall not extend any such Letter of Credit if it has received written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at least one Business Day prior to the last Business Day that such Issuing Bank may elect not to allow such extension; provided, further, if any [[Organization C:Organization]] is a Defaulting [[Organization C:Organization]], the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue, amend, extend or increase any Letter of Credit unless the applicable Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit of such Defaulting [[Organization C:Organization]], including by Cash Collateralizing such Defaulting [[Organization C:Organization]]’s Applicable Percentage of the Letter of Credit Usage at such time on terms satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower and the Applicable Account Party when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP 98 or UCP 600, as applicable, shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

Subject to the foregoing, the Issuing Bank may agree that a standby Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each, unless the Issuing Bank elects not to extend for any such additional period; provided, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to extend any such Letter of Credit if it has received written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the Issuing Bank must elect to allow such extension.

The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Existing Letters of Credit are deemed to be issued by the applicable Issuing Bank, as an Issuing Bank hereunder, for the account of the Borrower. Each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Issuing Bank without recourse a participation in each Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit # on the Closing Date with respect to all Existing Letters of Credit and # on the date of issuance with respect to all other Letters of Credit.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue or modify any Letter of Credit if, immediately after giving effect thereto, the Dollar Equivalent of the outstanding LC Exposure in respect of all Letters of Credit issued by such Person and its Affiliates would exceed such Issuing Bank’s Issuing Bank Sublimit. Without limiting the foregoing and without affecting the limitations contained herein, it is understood and agreed that any Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Bank issue Letters of Credit in excess of its individual Issuing Bank Sublimit in effect at the time of such request, and each Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, issue Letters of Credit in excess of its individual Issuing Bank Sublimit. Any Letter of Credit so issued by an Issuing Bank in excess of its individual Issuing Bank Sublimit then in effect shall nonetheless constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes of the Credit Agreement, and shall not affect the Issuing Bank Sublimit of any other Issuing Bank, subject to the limitations on the aggregate LC Exposure set forth in [clause (i) of this Section 2.05(b)].

Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the Multicurrency Commitments or the Dollar Commitments, as applicable, up to the aggregate amount then available to be drawn thereunder. Without limiting any rights of an Issuing Bank under this [Section 2.05], no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit # denominated in any Foreign Currency if at the time of such issuance, such Issuing Bank, in its capacity as a Lender, would not be required to make Loans in such Foreign Currency hereunder or # if, immediately after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the sum of such Issuing Bank’s outstanding Revolving Loans, LC Exposure and Swingline Exposure (if any) would exceed such Issuing Bank’s Dollar Commitment or Multicurrency Commitment, as the case may be.

SECTION # Letters of Credit.

A Letter of Credit may be a commercial letter of credit or a standby letter of credit. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of the [[Organization A:Organization]] or the beneficiary to require renewal) later than 10 Business Days before the Termination Date, provided that no Letter of Credit may expire after the Commitment Termination Date of any Non‑Consenting [[Organization B:Organization]] if, after giving effect to such issuance, the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the Consenting Lenders (including any replacement Lenders) for the period following such Commitment Termination Date would be less than the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit expiring after such Commitment Termination Date. Within the limits referred to above, the [[Organization A:Organization]] may from time to time request the issuance of Letters of Credit under this [Section 2.03(a)].

SECTION # Letters of Credit. (a) General; Certain Conditions. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or the account of any Subsidiary, denominated in Dollars and in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank (and to amend (in the form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank), renew or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it as requested by the Borrower), at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period; provided that a Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if, and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, # the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall not exceed the LC Commitment of such Issuing Bank (unless otherwise agreed by such Issuing Bank), # the total LC Exposure shall not exceed $150,000,000, # the Revolving Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Lender and # the Aggregate Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment.

Each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Agreement (including paragraphs (d) and (f) of this Section), to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained in any letter of credit application or other agreement furnished to any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit, # all provisions of such letter of credit application or other agreement purporting to grant Liens in favor of the Issuing Bank to secure obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be disregarded, # in the event that such letter of credit application or other agreement includes representations and warranties, covenants and/or events of default that do not contain the materiality qualifiers, exceptions or thresholds that are applicable to the analogous provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or are otherwise more restrictive, the relevant qualifiers, exceptions and thresholds contained herein or in the other Loan Documents shall be deemed incorporated therein or, to the extent more restrictive, shall be deemed for purposes of such letter of credit application or other agreement to be the same as the analogous provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and # in the event of any other inconsistency between the terms and conditions of such letter of credit application or other agreement and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

#For the avoidance of doubt, Letters of Credit outstanding immediately prior to the Closing Date shall be Letters of Credit hereunder. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Bank agrees to issue letters of credit for the account of any Specified Borrower on any Business Day during the Commitment Period in such form as shall be reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Bank; provided, that no Letter of Credit shall be issued if, after giving effect thereto # the aggregate amount of the Exposure of all the Banks would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, # the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations of an Issuing Bank would exceed the L/C Commitment of such Issuing Bank, # the aggregate amount of the Exposure of an Issuing Bank would exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Bank, # the aggregate amount of the Foreign Currency Exposure in respect of any Available Foreign Currency would exceed the Foreign Currency Exposure Sublimit for such Currency or # the aggregate amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Dollar Equivalent Amount of $200,000,000.

General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in addition to the Loans provided for in Section 2.01, the Borrower may request the Issuing Bank to issue, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period and under either the Dollar Commitments or Multicurrency Commitments, Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or (in the case of Letters of Credit under the Multicurrency Commitments) in any Agreed Foreign Currency for its own account or the account of any of its Subsidiaries or portfolio companies (provided that the Borrower shall remain primarily liable to the Issuing Bank and the [[Consenting Lenders:Organization]] hereunder for the payment and reimbursement of all amounts payable in respect of such Letter of Credit) in such form as is acceptable to the Issuing Bank in its reasonable determination and for the benefit of such named beneficiary or beneficiaries as are specified by the Borrower. Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the applicable Commitments up to the aggregate amount available to be drawn thereunder.

event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension, # the Revolving L/C Exposure shall not exceed U.S.$5,000,000, # the Total Revolving Facility Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Facility Commitments and # each Lender’s Revolving Facility Credit Exposure shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Facility Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue or modify any Letter of Credit if, immediately after giving effect thereto, the outstanding Revolving L/C Exposure in respect of all Letters of Credit issued by such Person and its Affiliates would exceed such Issuing Bank’s L/C Sublimit. Without limiting the foregoing and without affecting the limitations contained herein, it is understood and agreed that the Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Bank issue Letters of Credit in excess of its individual L/C Sublimit in effect at the time of such request, and each Issuing Bank agrees to consider any such request in good faith. Any Letter of Credit so issued by an Issuing Bank in excess of its individual L/C Sublimit then in effect shall nonetheless constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes of the Credit Agreement, and shall not affect the L/C Sublimit of any other Issuing Bank, subject to the limitations on the aggregate Revolving L/C Exposure set forth in [clause (i) of this Section 2.05(b)].
