The unused portion of the Revolving Line, for the purposes of this calculation, shall include amounts reserved under Section 2.1.4 for products provided and under Section 2.1.3 for FX Forward Contracts. Borrower shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate or repayment of any Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee previously earned by Bank pursuant to this Section 2.5(d) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the suspension or termination of Bank’s obligation to make loans and advances hereunder.”
