Such notice shall be given no later than 1:00 p.m. (Local Time) and shall include a request that the Swingline Loan be fully paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan Advance. Administrative Agent and each Lender shall treat such notice as a request for a Revolving Loan Advance, and Lenders shall fund their respective pro rata shares thereof on such date in accordance with Section 7.7.1, notwithstanding that (i) the amount of the aggregate of such remittances by Lenders may not be in the minimum amount for Revolving Loan Advances otherwise required hereunder, (ii) any conditions to Advances in Section 9 may not be then satisfied, (iii) there is an Existing Default, or (iv) such remittances by Lenders may be made after the Revolving Loan Maturity Date; provided, however, that no Lender will be required to remit funds to the extent such remittance would cause such Lender’s Revolving Loan to exceed such Lender’s pro rata share of the Maximum Available Amount, and in such event, such Lender shall remit only so much of the requested funds as would cause such Lender’s Revolving Loan to equal such Lender’s pro rata share of the Maximum Available Amount. Prior to 3:00 p.m. (Local Time) on such date, Administrative Agent shall make a Revolving Loan Advance in an amount sufficient to reduce the Swingline Loan to zero and shall remit the proceeds thereof to Bank of America. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a result of the application of this Section, the Borrower is deemed to have received the proceeds of a Revolving Loan Advance, for the date such Revolving Loan Advance is deemed to have been made, Borrower shall only pay interest on the amount of the Revolving Loan Advance (and not on the amount of the Swingline Loan so repaid, irrespective of the time of day Bank of America makes demand for such payment).

“10.7.   Lender Defaults.

SWINGLINE SUBFACILITY AMENDMENTS

 

At the Swingline Subfacility Effective Time (as defined below), the Original Loan Agreement as amended by Amendment No. 2, shall be further amended as follows (unless otherwise indicated, Section references are to Sections of the Original Loan Agreement as amended by Amendment No. 2):

 

1. Swingline Subfacility.  Section 3.2 is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

“3.2. Swingline Subfacility.

3.2.1. Swingline Advances. Subject to the limitations in this Section 3.2.1, in Section 3.2.2 and elsewhere herein, Swingline Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth herein, to consider in its sole and absolute discretion making Advances to Borrower (each a “Swingline Advance”) during the period from the Swingline Subfacility Effective Date to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, in amounts not exceeding the Swingline Maximum Available Amount, notwithstanding the fact that such Swingline Advances, when aggregated with Swingline Lender’s Revolving Loan and Swingline Lender’s pro rata share of the Letter of Credit Exposure may exceed the amount of Swingline Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment. The Swingline Subfacility is a discretionary, uncommitted subfacility of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment and Swingline Lender may terminate or suspend the Swingline Subfacility at any time in its sole discretion upon notice to Borrower, which notice may be given by Swingline Lender before or after Borrower requests a Swingline Advance hereunder.

 

3.2.2. Limitations on Swingline Advances. No Swingline Advance will be made on or after the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, and no Swingline Advance will be made which would result in the Swingline Loan exceeding the Swingline Maximum Available Amount. The Swingline Maximum Available Amount on any date shall be a Dollar amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Swingline Subfacility Amount, or (ii) an amount equal to the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment minus the sum of the Aggregate Revolving Loan and the Letter of Credit Exposure immediately prior to the making of such Swingline Advance. The Swingline Subfacility Amount is initially $3,000,000, but may decrease from time to time as provided herein.

 

3.2.3. Swingline Note. The obligation of Borrower to repay the Swingline Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note payable to the order of Swingline Lender in a maximum principal amount equal to the Swingline Subfacility Amount and otherwise in a form satisfactory to Swingline Lender.

 

3.2.4. Deemed Lender Participations in Swingline Advances. Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Advance, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Swingline Advance in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s pro rata share of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment times the amount such Swingline Advance.

 

3.2.5. Refinancing of Swingline Advances.

 

(i) Swingline Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes Swingline Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender fund its pro rata share of the amount of the Swingline Loan then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Advance for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Sections 7.10 and 7.13, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Advances, but limited by the Maximum Available Amount and the conditions set forth in Section 9.2 for subsequent Revolving Advances (other than as provided to the contrary in clause (iv) below). Swingline Lender shall promptly furnish Borrower with a copy of the applicable request for such Base Rate Advance. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its pro rata share of the requested Base Rate Advance available to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the day specified in such request, whereupon, subject to clause (ii) of this Section 3.2.5, each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have funded its pro rata share of the Requested Base Rate Advance. Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to Swingline Lender.

 

(ii) If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Base Rate Advance in accordance with clause (i) of this Section 3.2.5, the request for a Base Rate Advance submitted by Swingline Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by Swingline Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the then outstanding Swingline Loan and each Lender’s payment to Administrative Agent for the account of Swingline Lender pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 3.2.5 shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

 

(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to Administrative Agent for the account of Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2.5 by the time specified in clause (i) of Section 3.2.5, Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through Administrative Agent if Administrative Agent is different than Swingline Lender), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Swingline Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's funded pro rata portion of the relevant Base Rate Advance or funded participation in the then outstanding balance of the Swingline Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of Swingline Lender submitted to any Lender (through Administrative Agent if Administrative Agent is different from Swingline Lender) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(iv) Each Lender’s obligation to fund its pro rata portion of Base Rate Advances or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Advances pursuant to this Section 3.2.5 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against Swingline Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrower to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

 

3.2.6. Repayment of Participations.

 

(i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swingline Advance, if Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline Advance, Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its pro rata share thereof in the same funds as those received by Swingline Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by Swingline Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swingline Advance is required to be returned by Swingline Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 6.6 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Swingline Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to Swingline Lender its pro rata share thereof on demand of Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of Swingline Lender. The obligations of Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Loan Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

3.2.7. Interest for Account of Swingline Lender. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Swingline Lender shall be responsible for invoicing Borrower for interest on the Swingline Loan. Until each Lender funds its pro rata share of any Base Rate Advance or risk participation pursuant to this Section 3.2 to refinance such Lender’s pro rata share of any Swingline Advance, interest in respect of such pro rata share shall be solely for the account of Swingline Lender.

 

3.2.8. Payments Directly to Swingline Lender. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swingline Advances directly to Swingline Lender.”

 

2. Procedures for Obtaining Advances and Letter of Credit.  Section 7 is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

“7. Procedure for Obtaining Advances and Letters of Credit.

7.1. Initial Advances. Provided that all conditions thereto hereunder are satisfied and subject to the limitations contained herein, Lenders will fund and Administrative Agent will make the initial Revolving Loan Advance on the Effective Date in immediately available funds in Dollars as directed by Borrower in a written direction delivered to Administrative Agent.

 

7.2. Subsequent Revolving Loan Advances. Borrower may request a subsequent Revolving Loan Advance at any time, but not more often than once each Business Day, by submitting a request therefor to Administrative Agent as provided in Section 7.13. Every request for an Revolving Loan Advance shall be irrevocable. A request for a Revolving Loan Advance received by Administrative Agent on a day that is not a Business Day or that is received by Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on a Business Day shall be treated as having been received by Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the next Business Day.

7.3. Swingline Advances. Unless the Swingline Subfacility has been terminated or suspended by Swingline Lender as provided in Section 3.2.1, each Swingline Advance shall be made upon Borrower’s irrevocable notice to Swingline Lender and Administrative Agent (if Administrative Agent is not the Swingline Lender), which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by Swingline Lender and Administrative Agent (if Administrative Agent is not the Swingline Lender), if applicable, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the requested Advance Date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested Advance Date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to Swingline Lender and Administrative Agent (if Administrative Agent is not the Swingline Lender) of a written Swingline Advance Notice which shall be in the form of Exhibit 7.3 attached hereto and mailed, personally delivered or telecopied as provided in Section 20.1, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower. If Administrative Agent is not the Swingline Lender, promptly after receipt by Swingline Lender of any telephonic Swingline Advance Notice, Swingline Lender will confirm with Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that Administrative Agent has also received such Swingline Advance Notice and, if it has not, Swingline Lender will notify Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless (x) the Swingline Subfacility has been terminated or suspended by Swingline Lender as provided in Section 3.2.1, or (y) if Administrative Agent is not the Swingline Lender, Swingline Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from Administrative Agent prior to 4:30 p.m. (Local Time) on the date of the proposed Swingline Advance (A) directing Swingline Lender not to make such Swingline Advance as a result of the limitations set forth in Section 3.2.2, or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 9 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Swingline Lender will, not later than 5:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the Advance Date specified in such Swingline Advance Notice, make the amount of the requested Swingline Advance available to Borrower on the applicable Advance Date at Swingline Lender’s office by crediting the account of Borrower on the books of Swingline Lender in immediately available funds. Lenders agree that Swingline Lender may agree to modify the borrowing procedures used in connection with the Swingline Subfacility in its discretion and without affecting any of the obligations of Lenders and without any notification to any Lender.

7.4. [Intentionally Blank]

7.5. Administrative Agent’s Right to Make Other Revolving Loan Advances -- Payment of Loan Obligations. With the prior approval of Required Lenders in each instance, Administrative Agent shall have the right to make Revolving Loan Advances at any time and from time to time to cause timely payment when due of

 

any of the Loan Obligations; provided, however, that no Lender will be required to remit funds in an amount which would cause such Lender’s Revolving Loan to exceed such Lender’s pro rata share of the Maximum Available Amount. Administrative Agent may select the Advance Date for any such Revolving Loan Advance, but such Advance Date may only be a Business Day. Administrative Agent will give notice to Borrower after any such Revolving Loan Advance is made. Any such Revolving Loan Advance will initially be a Base Rate Advance.

7.6. Letters of Credit. Borrower may request the issuance of a Letter of Credit by submitting an issuance request to Letter of Credit Issuer and executing the application/reimbursement agreement required under Section 10.1 no less than five Business Days prior to the requested issue date for such Letter of Credit.

7.7. Fundings.

7.7.1. Revolving Loan Advances. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of the Advance (other than a Swingline Advance) to be made on an Advance Date. Each Lender shall make immediately available to Administrative Agent by 3:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the Advance Date funds consisting solely of Dollars in the amount of its pro rata share of such Advance, rounded to the nearest penny, in accordance with such remittance instructions as may be given by Administrative Agent to Lenders from time to time.

7.7.2. Draws on Letters of Credit. In the event that a draw is made on a Letter of Credit and Borrower does not reimburse the amount of such draw in full to Letter of Credit Issuer immediately on demand, Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of such failure. Upon Administrative Agent’s receipt of such notice from Letter of Credit Issuer, Administrative Agent may notify each Lender thereof and shall have the right to cause a Revolving Loan Advance to be made, regardless whether such Revolving Loan Advance would result in the Aggregate Revolving Loan exceeding the Maximum Available Amount, by notifying each Lender of the draw, the amount of the Revolving Loan Advance required to fund reimbursement of such draw, and the amount of such Lender’s ratable share of such Revolving Loan Advance. Unless otherwise agreed by Lenders, the Advance Date and time for such Revolving Loan Advance shall not be later than 1:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the first Business Day following Administrative Agent’s delivery of such notice to Lenders. By no later than such Advance Date and time, each Lender shall make immediately available to Administrative Agent funds consisting solely of Dollars in the amount of its pro rata share of such Revolving Loan Advance, rounded to the nearest penny, in accordance with such remittance instructions as may be given by Administrative Agent to each Lender from time to time. Each Revolving Loan Advance made by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 7.7.2 shall initially be a Base Rate Advance. Administrative Agent will give notice to Borrower after any such Revolving Loan Advance is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any unreimbursed draw on a Letter of Credit is repaid by Lenders upon the demand or request of Letter of Credit Issuer, and the Borrower is thereby deemed to have received the proceeds of a Revolving Loan Advance, for the date such Revolving Loan Advance is deemed to have

 

been made, Borrower shall only pay interest on the amount of the Revolving Loan Advance (and not on the amount of the unreimbursed Letter of Credit draw so repaid, irrespective of the time of day Letter of Credit Issuer makes demand for such payment).

7.7.3. All Fundings Ratable. All fundings of Advances (other than Swingline Advances) shall be made by Lenders as provided herein in accordance with their pro rata shares of the Aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, a Lender shall not be obligated to fund Revolving Loan Advances that would result in the sum of (a) such Lender’s Revolving Loan, plus (b) such Lender’s pro rata share of the Letter of Credit Exposure exceeding its Revolving Loan Commitment, or make available any more than its pro rata share of any Advance.

7.8. Administrative Agent’s Availability Assumptions.

7.8.1. Unless Administrative Agent has been given written notice by a Lender prior to an Advance Date that such Lender does not intend to make immediately available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s pro rata share of the Advance which Administrative Agent will be obligated to make on the Advance Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made the required amount available to Administrative Agent on the Advance Date and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If such required amount is not in fact made immediately available to Administrative Agent by such Lender on the Advance Date, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount immediately upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, then Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the other Lenders and Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover, either from such defaulting Lender or Borrower, interest on such corresponding amount for each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the cost to Administrative Agent of funding such amount at the Federal Funds Rate, or (ii) if paid by Borrower, the applicable rate for the Advance in question determined from the request therefor (without duplication of any interest accruing thereon under any other provision of this Agreement). Each Lender shall be obligated only to fund its pro rata share of an Advance subject to the terms and conditions hereof, regardless of the failure of another Lender to fund its pro rata share thereof.

7.8.2. Unless Administrative Agent has been given written notice by Borrower prior to the date any payment to be made by it is due, that it does not intend to remit such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has timely remitted such payment and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available a corresponding amount or pro rata portion thereof to the Persons entitled thereto. If such payment was not in fact remitted to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then,

 

each Lender shall immediately on demand repay to Administrative Agent the corresponding amount or pro rata portion thereof made available to such Lender, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

7.9. Disbursement. Provided that all conditions precedent herein to a requested Advance have been satisfied, Administrative Agent will make the amount of such requested Advance available to Borrower on the applicable Advance Date in immediately available funds in Dollars at Administrative Agent’s Applicable Lending Office.

7.10. Restrictions on Advances. No Eurodollar Advance will be made unless it is at least $250,000, and, over that amount, unless it is a whole multiple of $100,000. No Base Rate Advance will be made unless it is a whole multiple of $100,000 and at least $100,000. No more than one Revolving Loan Advance will be made on any one day pursuant to a request for a Revolving Loan Advance. No more than one Swingline Advance will be made on any day. Advances will only be made for the purposes permitted in Section 13.1. No Eurodollar Advance will be made so long as there is any Existing Default.

7.11. Restriction on Number of Eurodollar Loans. No more than 8 Eurodollar Loans with different Interest Periods may be outstanding at any one time.

7.12. Each Advance Request and Letter of Credit Request a Certification. Each submittal of a request for an Advance (whether for a Revolving Advance or a Swingline Advance) and each submittal of a request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit by a Borrowing Representative shall constitute a certification by Borrower that (i) there is no Existing Default, (ii) all conditions precedent hereunder to the making of the requested Advance or issuance of the requested Letter of Credit have been satisfied, and (iii) the Representations and Warranties are then true, with such exceptions as have been disclosed to Lenders in writing by Borrower or a Guarantor from time to time and are satisfactory to Lenders, and will be true on the Advance Date or issuance date, as applicable, as if then made with such exceptions.

7.13. Requirements for Every Revolving Advance Request. Only a written request (which shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7.13 and mailed, personally delivered or telecopied as provided in Section 20.1) or a telephonic request (promptly confirmed in writing in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 7.13 in the manner provided in Section 20.1) from a Borrowing Representative to Administrative Agent that specifies the amount of the Revolving Advance to be made, the Advance Date for the requested Revolving Advance, the portion of the Revolving Advance which is requested to be a Eurodollar Advance and the portion of the Revolving Advance which is requested to be a Base Rate Advance, and the Interest Period to be applicable to the Eurodollar Loan that will result from a requested Eurodollar Advance, shall be treated as a request for a Revolving Advance. No Advance Date for any requested Revolving Advance may be other than a Business Day. A request for a Eurodollar Advance must be given prior to 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) at least two Business Days prior to the Advance Date for such Eurodollar Advance. A request for a Base Rate Advance must be given prior to 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the Advance Date for such Base Rate Advance;

 

provided, however, that with respect to any Advance to be made on the Effective Date, the request for such Advance shall be delivered to Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the Effective Date and such Advance must be a Base Rate Advance only.

7.14. Requirements for Every Letter of Credit Request. Only a written request (which may be mailed, personally delivered or telecopied as provided in Section 20.1) from a Borrowing Representative to Administrative Agent or an electronic initiation over an online service provided by Letter of Credit Issuer that specifies the amount, requested issue date (which shall be a Business Day and in no event later than 30 Business Days before the Revolving Loan Maturity Date) and beneficiary of the requested Letter of Credit and other information necessary for its issuance shall be treated as a request for issuance of a Letter of Credit.

7.15. Exoneration of Administrative Agent and Lenders. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to Borrower for treating a request that meets the express requirements of Section 7.3 or Section 7.13 or Section 7.14 as a request for an Advance or issuance of a Letter of Credit, as applicable, if Administrative Agent (and Swingline Lender, if applicable) believes in good faith that the Person making the request is a Borrowing Representative or if, in the case of a request for a Letter of Credit, it is electronically initiated. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to Borrower for failing to treat any such request as a request for an Advance or issuance of a Letter of Credit, as applicable, if Administrative Agent (and Swingline Lender, if applicable) believes in good faith that the Person making the request is not a Borrowing Representative.”

3. Rights and Remedies.  Sections 16.2.1 and 16.2.2 are hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

16.2.1. Termination of Commitments.  Upon an Event of Default described in Section 16.1.9, the Commitments shall be deemed canceled. From and after the occurrence of any other Event of Default that has not been waived in writing, Required Lenders may cancel the Commitments. Any such cancellation may be, in either case, without presentment, demand or notice of any kind, which Borrower expressly waives.

 

16.2.2 Acceleration.  Upon an Event of Default described in Section 16.1.9, all of the outstanding Loan Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable. From and after the occurrence of any other Event of Default that has not been waived in writing, Required Lenders may declare all of the outstanding Loan Obligations immediately due and payable. Such acceleration may be, in either case, without presentment, demand or notice of any kind, which Borrower expressly waives.
