Buyer shall have the obligation to enter into Transactions up to the Committed Amount, subject to the terms and conditions herein, but shall have no obligation to enter into Transactions with respect to the Uncommitted Amount.

If such average amount determined for any period as a percentage of the Committed Amount (the “Utilization Percentage”) is less than 75%, Seller shall pay to Buyer on the Repurchase Dates in occurring in the last month of each calendar quarter or the Termination Date (as applicable), the Non-Utilization Fee; provided that Seller shall not be obligated to pay any Non-Utilization Fee to Buyer for any period with respect to which the Utilization Percentage in such period is greater than or equal to 75%.
