Within the foregoing limits, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section, repay or, to the extent permitted by Section 2.10, prepay Revolver Advances and to the extent permitted by this Agreement, reborrow under this Section 2.01(a)(1) at any time before the Termination Date.

SECTION 2.04. Amendment to Section 2.01(b). Section 2.01(b) of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers shall have the right, at any time from the Closing Date until the Termination Date, to increase the total Revolver Commitments by an amount up to $20,000,000 (for a total Revolver Commitment, assuming no reductions, of $80,000,000) in the aggregate. The following terms and conditions shall apply to any such increase: (i) any such increase shall be obtained from existing Lenders or from other lenders or other financial institutions, in each case in accordance with the terms set forth below, (ii) the Revolver Commitment of any Lender may not be increased without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) the initial increase in the aggregate Revolver Commitments shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 and any subsequent increase in the aggregate Revolver Commitments shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000, (iv) the Loan Parties, Pledgors and Lenders shall execute an acknowledgement (or in the case of the addition of a lender or other financial institution not then a party to this Agreement, a joinder agreement) in form and content satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to reflect the revised Revolver Commitments, (the Lenders do hereby agree to execute such acknowledgement (or joinder agreement) unless the acknowledgement purports to increase the Revolver Commitment of a Lender without such Lender’s consent), (v) the Borrowers shall execute such Notes as are necessary to reflect the increase in the Revolver Commitments and such amendments to the Collateral Documents and other Loan Documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably request to implement the terms of the Loan Documents, (vi) if any Revolver Advances are outstanding at the time of any such increase, the Borrowers shall make such payments and adjustments on the Revolver Advances as necessary to give effect to the revised commitment percentages and outstandings of the Lenders, (vii) the Borrowers may solicit commitments from lenders and other financial institutions that are not then a party to this Agreement so long as such lenders and other financial institutions are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and execute a joinder agreement in form and content satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and (viii) the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 shall be satisfied. The amount of any increase in the Revolver Commitments hereunder shall be offered first to the existing Lenders, and in the event the additional commitments which

 

3


existing Lenders are willing to take shall exceed the amount requested by the Borrowers, such excess shall be allocated in proportion to the commitments of such existing Lenders willing to take additional commitments. If the amount of the additional commitments requested by the Borrowers shall exceed the additional commitments which the existing Lenders are willing to take, then the Borrowers may invite other lenders and financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to join this Agreement as Lenders hereunder for the portion of commitments not taken by existing Lenders, provided that such other lenders and financial institutions shall enter into such joinder agreements to give effect thereto as the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may reasonably request. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the terms of any increase in the total Revolver Commitments shall be the same as those in effect prior to any increase; provided, however, that should the terms of the increase agreed to be other than those in effect prior to the increase, then the Loan Documents shall be amended to the extent necessary to incorporate any such different terms.

SECTION 2.05. Amendment to Section 2.02(a). Section 2.02(a) of the Credit Agreement is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

(a) The Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Notice of Borrowing”) prior to 11:00 A.M. (Winston-Salem, North Carolina time) at least three (3) Euro-Dollar Business Days before each Borrowing of a Euro-Dollar Advance and at least one (1) Domestic Business Day before such Borrowing of a Base Rate Advance, together with a Borrowing Base Certification Report dated as of the date of such Borrowing, (A) specifying:

(iii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing; and (B) certifying that the aggregate amount of all Revolver Advances which have been used in connection with any one Property (including without limitation any and all Investments funded with the proceeds of Revolver Advances in any such Property) shall not exceed $25,000,000 (except for the Revolver Advances used in connection with the Tampa Property, which shall not exceed $38,000,000 in the aggregate).

The amended amount of each Lender’s total Revolver Commitment is the amount set forth opposite the name of such Lender on the signature pages hereof.
