(ii) The Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender (other than the Swing Line Lender) that makes a request therefor, a note to evidence the Revolving Credit Advances which may be made hereunder from time to time by such Lender. Each such note shall be (x) in the principal amount of the Commitment of the applicable Lender, (y) dated as of the date of issuance thereof, and (z) substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(a)(ii) (each, a “Revolving Note”). Each Revolving Note shall represent the obligation of the Borrower to pay the amount of each Lender’s Commitment or, if less, the Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Advances made to the Borrower, together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.06. The Outstanding Principal Amount of Revolving Credit Advances and all other accrued and unpaid Borrower Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Commitment Termination Date.

(b) Swing Line Advances. (i) From and after the Effective Date and until the Commitment Termination Date and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make advances (each such advance hereunder, a “Swing Line Advance”) to the Borrower from time to time. The aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loan shall not at any time exceed the Swing Line Commitment. Under no circumstances shall the Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Advance if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loan would exceed the Swing Line Commitment. The Swing Line Lender shall not make any Swing Line Advance, if after giving effect thereto, a Funding Excess would exist. The Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Line Advances hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received at least one Business Day’s prior written notice from the Lenders instructing it not to make a Swing Line Advance, the Swing Line Lender shall, notwithstanding the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.01 or 3.02, be entitled to fund such Swing Line Advance, and to have the Lenders make Revolving Credit Advances in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(iii) or purchase participating interests in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(iv). The Borrower shall repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Loan in full in immediately available funds on the Commitment Termination Date.

(ii) The Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Swing Line Lender a note to evidence the Swing Line Loan. Such note shall be in the principal amount of the Swing Line Commitment, dated the Closing Date and substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(b)(ii) (the “Swing Line Note”). The Swing Line Note shall represent the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Swing Line Loan, together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.06. The Swing Line Loan and all other accrued and unpaid Borrower Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Commitment Termination Date.

(iii) The Swing Line Lender, at any time and from time to time no less frequently than once per month, shall on behalf of the Borrower (and the Borrower

hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so act on its behalf) request each Lender (excluding the Swing Line Lender) to make a Revolving Credit Advance to the Borrower in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of the Swing Line Loan (the “Refunded Swing Line Loan”) outstanding on the date such notice is given. Unless the Commitment Termination Date has occurred (in which event the procedures of subsection (iv) below shall apply) and regardless of whether the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 3.01 and 3.02 to the making of a Revolving Credit Advance are then satisfied, each Lender (subject to Section 2.01(c)) shall disburse directly to the Administrative Agent, its Pro Rata Share of a Revolving Credit Advance on behalf of the Swing Line Lender, prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York time), in immediately available funds on the Business Day next succeeding the date on which such notice is given; provided that (i) no Lender shall be required to make such a Revolving Credit Advance if the Swing Line Advance to be financed was made in violation of the fourth sentence of Section 2.01(b)(i) and the Funding Excess resulting therefrom has not yet been cured, (ii) no Lender shall be required to make such a Revolving Credit Advance if, after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Advance, the Outstanding Principal Amount of the Revolving Credit Advances made by such Lender would exceed such Lender’s several Commitment and (iii) no Lender shall be required to make such a Revolving Credit Advance after the Final Advance Date. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Advances shall be immediately paid to the Swing Line Lender and applied to repay the Refunded Swing Line Loan.

(iv) If, prior to refunding a Swing Line Loan with a Revolving Credit Advance pursuant to Section 2.01(b)(iii), the Commitment Termination Date or one of the events described in Sections 8.01(d) or (e) has occurred, then, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01(b)(v) below, each Lender shall, on the date such Revolving Credit Advance was to have been made for the benefit of the Borrower, purchase from the Swing Line Lender an undivided participation interest in the Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Swing Line Loan. Upon request by the Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall promptly transfer to the Swing Line Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation interest.

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(iii) and to purchase participation interests in accordance with Section 2.01(b)(iv) shall, except to the extent described in the proviso set forth in the second to last sentence of Section 2.01(b)(iii) and as set forth in Section 2.01(c), be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of any
