SECTION 2.

AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENT

 

2.1            The Commitment.

 

(a)            Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lender agrees to make revolving loans (“Loans”) in Dollars to the Borrower from time to time during the Commitment Period with an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time not to exceed the amount of the Commitment then in effect.

 

(b)            During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may use the Commitment by borrowing, prepaying the Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

 

2.2            Procedure for Borrowing.

 

(a)            The Borrower may borrow under the Commitment during the Commitment Period on any Business Day; provided, that, unless the Lender otherwise agrees, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender a written notice (or provide a telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) (a “Borrowing Notice”) which must (i) specify the date on which such borrowing is to be made (the “Borrowing Date”), the amount to be borrowed from the Lender on such Borrowing Date (the “Borrowing Amount”), and the bank account and other pertinent wire transfer instructions to which such borrowing is to be deposited by the Lender (the “Applicable Bank Account”), (ii) certify that all applicable conditions to such borrowing hereunder have been satisfied and (iii) be received by the Lender prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, at least one Business Day prior to such Borrowing Date or, in the case of a Loan to be made on the Effective Date, on or before the Borrowing Date.

 

(b)            On each Borrowing Date set forth in a Borrowing Notice, the Lender will make a Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Borrowing Amount set forth in such Borrowing Notice, and (ii) the undrawn portion of the Commitment as then in effect by making the proceeds thereof available to the Borrower in immediately available funds in Dollars not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Borrowing Date to the Applicable Bank Account.

 

2.3            Voluntary Termination or Reduction of the Commitment.  The Borrower shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the Commitment or, from time to time, to permanently reduce the Commitment during the Commitment Period by delivering to the Lender a written notice specifying such termination or the amount of such reduction. Any termination of or permanent reduction in the Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall take effect on the date specified in such written notice.

 

2.4            Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

 

(a)            The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Termination Date.  The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay to the Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum and in the manner set forth in Section 3.4 hereof.

 

(b)            The Lender shall maintain an account evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender resulting from the Loans, including the outstanding principal amount of each Loan, accrued and unpaid interest outstanding in respect thereof and the amount of any sum received by the Lender hereunder from the Borrower in respect of the Loans and the manner in which it was applied.  The entries made in such account of the Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to maintain any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 3.

PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE LOANS

 

3.1            Optional Prepayments.  The Borrower may prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty, together with any interest accrued but unpaid on the amount prepaid.  Each such optional prepayment shall be applied, first, to the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Loans, and, second, to any accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans.

 

3.2            Mandatory Prepayments.

 

(a)            If, at any time, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans exceeds the Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately repay the principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to such excess, together with any interest accrued but unpaid on the amount prepaid.

 

(b)            Upon the effective date of any reduction in the Commitment pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof, the Borrower shall prepay on such date the aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding in excess of the Commitment after giving effect to such reduction, together with any interest accrued but unpaid on the amount prepaid.

 

(c)            If on any date (i) a new financing agreement is entered into after the date hereof under which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is then able to draw, or (ii) for any reason the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have available unrestricted cash in excess of amounts required in the Borrower’s reasonable judgment to run the operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, Borrower shall prepay on such date the aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding in an amount equal to such available borrowing capacity or excess cash, as applicable (except, in the case of clause (ii), to the extent that using such excess cash to prepay Loans would result in material adverse tax consequences after taking into account all relevant factors), together with interest accrued but unpaid on such amount.

 

(d)            On the Termination Date, the Commitment shall terminate and the Borrower shall cause all outstanding Loans, together with any interest accrued but unpaid thereon, to be paid in full.

 

3.3            Interest Rate and Payment Dates.

 

(a)            Each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum from time to time equal to 8.00%.

 

(b)            If all or a portion of any Loan, any interest payable thereon or any other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration, as a result of an event requiring a mandatory prepayment or otherwise), then, for so long as such amount remains unpaid, such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate otherwise in effect plus 2%.

 

(c)            Interest accrued from time to time in respect of each Loan shall be payable in cash in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided, that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 3.3 shall be payable from time to time on demand.  Any accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans shall be payable in full in cash on the Termination Date.

 

(d)            Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 (or 366, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.

 

3.4            Method of Payments.

 

(a)            All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower on account of principal, interest, costs and expenses shall be made without set‑off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding and shall be made to the Lender at such location or to such account as the Lender may specify to the Borrower, on or prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date thereof, in Dollars and in immediately available funds.

 

(b)            If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
