4 designated by the Borrower (each such letter of credit issued by the Issuing Lender, a “Letter of Credit”, and collectively, the “Letters of Credit”), in each case with an initial expiry date of no later than one (1) calendar year and five (5) Business Days from the Issuance Date (subject to automatic renewal in accordance with the terms thereof) and (B) to honor drawings by the relevant Account Beneficiary under each outstanding Letter of Credit; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Tranche A Letter of Credit expiry date shall be no later than one year after the Tranche A Availability Period End Date and a Tranche B Letter of Credit expiry date shall be no later than one year after the Tranche B Availability Period End Date. For record-keeping purposes, all Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender shall be designated as Tranche A Letters of Credit or Tranche B Letters of Credit. In the event that the issuance of a single Letter of Credit would result in the aggregate LOC Amount of all Letters of Credit at the time of such issuance exceeding the Tranche A LOC Commitment, the Issuing Lender may choose to (a) issue two separate Letters of Credit, comprised of a Tranche A Letter of Credit (with a face amount that, when added to the face amount of all other Tranche A Letters of Credit, results in a LOC Amount equal to the Tranche A LOC Commitment attributable to all Tranche A Letters of Credit) and a Tranche B Letter of Credit (with a face amount equal to the LOC Amount attributable to all Letters of Credit in excess of the Tranche A LOC Commitment) or (b) issue a single Tranche B Letter of Credit. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, no Tranche B Letters of Credit will be issued prior to the Tranche A Availability Period End Date unless and until the Tranche A LOC Amount attributable to issued and outstanding Tranche A Letters of Credit is greater than the Tranche A LOC Commitment or, at the Borrower’s election in order to maintain the ability to amend the terms of Tranche A Letters of Credit already issued, $40,000,000 (or such other amount as agreed and confirmed in writing by the Issuing Lender in its sole discretion). Subject to Section 2.08, no Tranche A Letter of Credit will be issued after the Tranche A Availability Period End Date and no Tranche B Letter of Credit will be issued after the Tranche B Availability Period End Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Tranche A Letters of Credit are expiring on a date after the Tranche A Availability Period End Date, such Tranche A Letter of Credit, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, shall be automatically renewed as a Tranche B Letter of Credit so long the Tranche B LOC Exposure will not exceed the Tranche B LOC Commitment as a result of such renewal. Any Tranche A Letters of Credit outstanding on the effective date of this Agreement shall continue to be Tranche A Letters of Credit and any Tranche B Letters of Credit outstanding on the effective date of this Agreement shall continue to be Tranche B Letters of Credit. § 3 Conditions to Effectiveness of this Amendment.
