and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.02 will be met as of
the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each such LC Application
must be made in such form as may mutually be agreed upon by Issuing Bank
and Company. No more than two (2) Business Days after the LC Conditions
for a Letter of Credit have been met as described in Section 2.05(a),
Issuing Bank will issue such Letter of Credit at Issuing Bank's office or
at such office of Issuing Bank of which Issuing Bank shall give Company
written notice. In the event of a conflict between any provision contained
in this Loan Agreement and any provision contained in any LC Application,
the provision contained in this Loan Agreement shall control.
(c) Reimbursement of Letters of Credit.
----------------------------------
(i) Reimbursement by Company. Each payment of a draft or demand for
------------------------
payment honored by Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit shall
constitute a loan to Company and part of the Obligation.
Promptly upon receipt of written notice of Issuing Bank's
honoring of a Letter of Credit, Company promises to pay to
Issuing Bank, or to Issuing Bank's order at such office of which
Issuing Bank shall give Company written notice, on demand, in
Dollars, any and all amounts paid by Issuing Bank under any
Letter of Credit, together with interest on any such amounts from
the date payment is made by Issuing Bank under such Letter of
Credit until but not including the date of the repayment of such
amounts to Issuing Bank, at the Floating Base Rate; provided that
if any such payment or reimbursement shall be reimbursed to
Issuing Bank on the date Issuing Bank makes such payment or
disbursement, interest shall be payable on the reimbursable
amount at such rate for one (1) day. In the event that Company
fails to pay when due any Matured LC Obligation owed by it to
Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent may, at its option, and
without any notice or further authorization from Company, make,
pro rata on behalf of Banks, a Floating Base Advance under this
Loan Agreement in the amount of such unpaid Matured LC Obligation
(whether or not such amount is less than the minimum Floating
Base Advance or would result in the Total
4
<PAGE>
Outstandings being greater than the Commitment), and apply the
proceeds of such Floating Base Advance to the payment of such
Matured LC Obligation. Company hereby expressly requests and
irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to do all of the
foregoing. The Floating Base Advances used to refinance Matured
LC Obligations shall bear interest as provided in this Loan
Agreement. Company hereby promises to pay, when and as due, all
present and future levies, costs and charges whatsoever imposed,
assessed, levied or collected on, under or in respect of this
Loan Agreement with respect to any Letter of Credit and any
payments of principal, interest or other amounts made on or in
respect of any thereof. Company promises to indemnify Issuing
Bank against, and to reimburse Issuing Bank on demand for, any of
the foregoing levies, costs or charges paid by Issuing Bank and
any loss, liability, claim or expense, including interest,
penalties and legal fees, that Issuing Bank may incur because of
or in connection with the failure of Company to make any such
payment of levies, costs or charges when and as due or any
payment of Matured LC Obligations when and as due.
Company's obligation to reimburse Issuing Bank under this Section
2.05(c) for payments and disbursements made by Issuing Bank under
any Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Section shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and
irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment
which Company may have or have had against Issuing Bank or any
Bank, including, without limitation, any defense based on the
failure of such demand for payment under such Letter of Credit to
conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit or the legality,
validity, regularity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit.
As among Company on the one hand, and each Issuing Bank and each
Bank, on the other hand, Company assumes all risks of the acts
and omissions of, or misuse of Letters of Credit by the
beneficiary of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, no Agent, Issuing Bank nor any Bank
shall be responsible for:
(A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness
or legal effect of any document submitted by any Person
in connection with the application for and issuance of
and presentation of drafts with respect to any Letter
of Credit, even if it should prove to be in any or all
respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent
or forged, excepting, however, errors or omissions
found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court
of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing
Bank;
(B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument
transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or
assign the Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits
thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part,
which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any
reason;
5
<PAGE>
(C) the failure of the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit
to comply duly with conditions required in order to
draw upon such Letter of Credit;
(D) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in
transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail,
cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not
they be in cipher;
(E) errors in interpretation of technical terms;
(F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of
any document required in order to make a drawing under
any Letter of Credit or of e proceeds thereof;
(G) the misapplication by the beneficiary of the Letter of
Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter
of Credit; or
(H) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control
of either Agent, Issuing Bank or any Bank,
(ii) Reimbursement by Banks. Issuing Bank irrevocably agrees to grant
----------------------
and hereby grants to each Bank, and, each Bank irrevocably agrees
to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from
Issuing Bank, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for
such Bank's own account and risk an undivided interest equal to
such Bank's Percentage of Issuing Bank's obligations and rights
under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of
each draft paid by Issuing Bank thereunder. In the event that
Company should fail to pay Issuing Bank on demand the amount of
any draft or other request for payment drawn under a Letter of
Credit as provided in Section 2.05(c)(i), each Bank shall, before
2:00 p.m., Fort Worth, Texas time, on the Business Day Issuing
Bank shall have given notice to Banks of Company's failure to so
pay Issuing Bank, pay to Issuing Bank at Issuing Bank's offices,
or at such other office of which Issuing Bank shall have given
Banks written notice, in Dollars and in same day funds, such
Bank's Percentage of the amount of such draft or other request
for payment from Company plus interest on such amount from the
date Issuing Bank shall have paid such draft or request for
payment to the date of such payment by such Bank at the Federal
Funds Rate. Each Bank's obligation to reimburse Issuing Bank
pursuant to the terms of this Section is irrevocable and
unconditional. Whenever, at any time after Issuing Bank has made
payment under any Letter of Credit, and has received from any
Bank its Percentage of such payment in accordance with this
subsection, Issuing Bank receives any payment related to such
Letter of Credit (whether directly from Company or otherwise,
including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by Issuing
Bank), or any payment of interest on account thereof, Issuing
Bank will distribute to such Bank its
6
<PAGE>
Percentage thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any
such payment received by Issuing Bank shall be required to be
returned by Issuing Bank, such Bank shall return to Issuing Bank
the portion thereof previously distributed by Issuing Bank to it.
Each Bank shall indemnify and hold Issuing Bank harmless from and
against any and all losses, liabilities (including, without
limitation, liabilities for penalties), actions, suits,
judgments, demands, damages, costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, attorneys' fees and expenses) resulting from
any failure on the part of such Bank to provide, or from any
delay in providing, in accordance with this paragraph to Issuing
Bank such Bank's Percentage of the amount of any payment or
disbursement made by Issuing Bank to settle its obligations under
any draft drawn under any Letter of Credit.
(iii) Cash Collateral Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an
-------------------------------------
Event of Default, an amount equal to the amount of the aggregate
contingent liability of Issuing Bank and Banks in connection with
each Letter of Credit then in effect shall be deemed (as between
Banks and Company) to have been paid or disbursed by Issuing Bank
and Banks under such Letter of Credit (notwithstanding that such
amount may not in fact have been so paid or disbursed), and
Company shall be immediately obligated to pay to Administrative
Agent for the pro rata benefit of Banks in accordance with their
respective Percentage, the amount so deemed to have been so paid
or disbursed, which payment shall be made by depositing Cash
Collateral with Administrative Agent in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 2.05(c)(iv).
(iv) Procedures for Depositing and Returning of Cash Collateral. Any
----------------------------------------------------------
cash collateral amounts received by Administrative Agent pursuant
to the provisions of Section 2.05(c)(iii) (the "Cash Collateral")
shall be deposited in a separate interest bearing cash collateral
account maintained at the offices of Administrative Agent or
another Bank designated by Administrative Agent under the sole
dominion and control of Administrative Agent and shall be
retained by Administrative Agent for the pro rata benefit of
Banks in accordance with their Percentage of the Loan and LC
Obligations as collateral security for, and Company hereby grants
to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Banks a security
interest in such Cash Collateral including all interest accruing
thereon and the proceeds thereof to secure, first the payment of
the Obligation of Company under or in connection with its Letters
of Credit, and then the remaining Obligation of Company under and
in connection with this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Papers,
pro rata to each Bank in accordance with its Percentage of the
Loan and all LC Obligations. All Cash Collateral delivered to
Administrative Agent may be applied by Administrative Agent from
time to time against any of Company's reimbursement obligations
with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which a draw is made.
If and to the extent that the Event of Default giving rise to
7
<PAGE>
the demand for Cash Collateral has been cured to the reasonable
satisfaction of Agents or (a) the Obligation has been fully paid
and satisfied and (b) no Letters of Credit remain outstanding,
Administrative Agent shall promptly return to Company, upon
Company's request therefor, all amounts previously paid to
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.05(c)(iv) and not
theretofore returned by Administrative Agent to Company or
applied by Administrative Agent to reduce amounts payable by
Company to Banks under or with respect to the Letters of Credit
or other amounts due to Banks or Agents hereunder or under the
other Loan Papers.
(d) Letter of Credit Fees. In consideration of Issuing Bank's issuance of
---------------------
any Letter of Credit and each other Bank's agreement to purchase a risk
participation therein, Company agrees to pay to Administrative Agent:
(a) a letter of credit fronting fee for the account of the Issuing
Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit upon issuance of each
Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the greater of (i) $1,250
or (ii) one-eighth of one percent (1/8 of 1%) per annum
calculated on the face amount thereof; and
(b) a letter of credit fee for the account of Banks, to be
distributed to Banks ratably in accordance with their Percentage,
