ARTICLE II

THE LOANS

Section 2.01 Revolving Credit Commitments .

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (each, a “ Revolving Loan ” and, collectively, the “ Revolving Loans ”) to the Borrower at any time and from time to time from the Initial Funding Date to the Revolving Maturity Date, or until the earlier reduction of its Revolving Credit Commitment to zero in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans at any time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of (A) the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and (B) the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Pro Rata Share of the then extant Borrowing Base.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans outstanding at any time to the Borrower shall not exceed the lower of (A) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and (B) the then current Borrowing Base. The Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender shall automatically and permanently be reduced to zero on the Revolving Maturity Date. Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow the Revolving Loans, on or after the Initial Funding Date and prior to the Revolving Maturity Date, subject to the terms, provisions and limitations set forth herein.

Section 2.02 Term Commitments . Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to a single loan (each, a “ Term Loan ” and, collectively, the “ Term Loans ”) to the Borrower on the Initial Funding Date in an amount not to exceed such Lender’s Term Commitment. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.02 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

Section 2.03 Making the Loans .

(a) The Borrower shall give Administrative Agent prior telephonic notice (immediately confirmed in writing, in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto (a “ Notice of Borrowing ”)), not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date which is 3 Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Loan (or such shorter period as Administrative Agent is willing, in its sole discretion, to accommodate from time to time). Such Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the principal amount of the proposed Loans, (ii) whether the proposed Loans are to be made under the Revolving Credit Commitments or Term Commitments and (iii) the proposed borrowing date, which must be a Business Day. Administrative Agent and the Lenders may act without liability upon the basis of written, telecopied or telephonic notice believed by Administrative Agent in good faith to be from the Borrower (or from any Authorized Officer thereof designated in writing purportedly from the Borrower to Administrative Agent). The Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of any such telephonic Notice of Borrowing. Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled

 

-33-


to rely conclusively on any Authorized Officer’s authority to request Loans on behalf of the Borrower until Administrative Agent receives written notice to the contrary. Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any written Notice of Borrowing.

(b) Each Notice of Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be irrevocable and the Borrower shall be bound to make a borrowing in accordance therewith. Each Loan shall be made in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.

(c)    (i) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.03(c), all Loans under this Agreement shall be made by the applicable Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their Pro Rata Shares of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or Total Term Commitment, as applicable, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligations to make a Loan requested hereunder, nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of the default by any other Lender in that other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans required to be made by it by the terms of this Agreement regardless of the failure by any other Lender.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and in order to reduce the number of fund transfers among the Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), and the Borrower and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent to, fund, on behalf of the Lenders with a Revolving Credit Commitment, Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.01, subject to the procedures for settlement set forth in Section 2.03(d); provided , however , that (a) Administrative Agent shall in no event fund any such Revolving Loans if Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders prior to the time of the proposed Revolving Loans that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 4.03 will not be satisfied at the time of the proposed Revolving Loans, and (b) Administrative Agent shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent in Section 4.03 have been satisfied. If the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing requesting Revolving Loans and Administrative Agent elects not to fund such Revolving Loans on behalf of the Lenders, then promptly after receipt of the Notice of Borrowing requesting such Revolving Loans, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the specifics of the requested Revolving Loans and that it will not fund the requested Revolving Loans on behalf of the Lenders. If Administrative Agent notifies the Lenders that it will not fund the requested Revolving Loans on behalf of such Lenders, each Lender shall make its Revolving Pro Rata Share of the requested Revolving Loans available to Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, at the Payment Office no later than 12:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Revolving Loans. Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loans available

 

-34-


to the Borrower on the day of the proposed Revolving Loans by causing an amount, in immediately available funds, equal to the proceeds of all such Revolving Loans received by Administrative Agent at the Payment Office or the amount funded by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders to be deposited in an account designated by the Borrower.

(iii) If Administrative Agent has notified the Lenders that Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Lenders, will fund particular Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii), Administrative Agent may assume that each such Lender has made its Revolving Pro Rata Shares of such requested Revolving Loans available to Administrative Agent on such day and Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, cause a corresponding amount to be made available to the Borrower on such day. If Administrative Agent makes such corresponding amount available to the Borrower and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by any such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for 3 Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate. During the period in which such Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the amount so advanced by Administrative Agent to the Borrower shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Revolving Loan made by Administrative Agent for its own account. Upon any such failure by a Lender to pay Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower of such failure and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent for its own account.

(iv) Nothing in this Section 2.03(c) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligations to fulfill its Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(d) With respect to all periods for which Administrative Agent has funded Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(c), on Friday of each week, or if the applicable Friday is not a Business Day, then on the following Business Day, or such shorter period as Administrative Agent may from time to time select (any such week or shorter period being herein called a “ Settlement Period ”), Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding as of the last day of each such Settlement Period. In the event that such amount is greater than the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans outstanding on the last day of the Settlement Period immediately preceding such Settlement Period (or, if there has been no preceding Settlement Period, the amount of the Revolving Loans made on the date of such Lender’s initial funding), each Lender shall promptly (and in any event not later than 11:00 a.m.) make available to Administrative Agent its Revolving Pro Rata

 

-35-


Share of the difference in immediately available funds. In the event that such amount is less than such unpaid principal amount, Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over to each Lender its Revolving Pro Rata Share of the difference in immediately available funds. In addition, if Administrative Agent shall so request at any time when a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or any other event shall have occurred as a result of which Administrative Agent shall determine that it is desirable to present claims against the Borrower for repayment, each Lender shall promptly remit to Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to each Lender, sufficient funds to adjust the interests of the Lenders in the then outstanding Revolving Loans to such an extent that, after giving effect to such adjustment, each such Lender’s interest in the then outstanding Revolving Loans will be equal to its Revolving Pro Rata Share thereof. The obligations of Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section 2.03(d) shall be absolute and unconditional. Each Lender shall only be entitled to receive interest on its Revolving Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans which have been funded by such Lender.

(e) In the event that any Lender fails to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.03(d), Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for 3 Business Days and thereafter at the Reference Rate. During the period in which such Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the amount so advanced by Administrative Agent to the Borrower shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Revolving Loan made by Administrative Agent for its own account. Upon any such failure by a Lender to pay Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Borrower of such failure and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent for its own account. Nothing in this Section 2.03(e) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

Section 2.04 Repayment of the Loans; Evidence of Debt .

(a) The outstanding principal of all Revolving Loans shall be due and payable on the Revolving Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans in monthly installments of $312,500, commencing on the first anniversary of the Initial Funding Date and continuing on the first Business Day of each month thereafter; provided , however , that the final principal repayment installment of the Term Loans shall be repaid on the Term Maturity Date and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on such date.

 

-36-


(c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from the Loans made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(d) Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of the Loans made hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (c) or (d) of this Section 2.04 shall be conclusive evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender or Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) Any Lender may request the Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) in a form furnished by Administrative Agent and reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 11.07) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.05 Interest .

(a) Revolving Loans . Each Revolving Loan shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, from the date of the making of such Revolving Loan until the date on which such principal amount is repaid in accordance herewith, at a variable rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate plus 4.50%.

(b) Term Loans . Each Term Loan shall bear interest on the principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, from the date of the making of such Term Loan until the date on which such principal amount is repaid in accordance herewith, at a fixed rate per annum equal to 10%.

(c) Default Interest . To the extent permitted by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the Loans, fees, indemnities or any other Obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall bear interest, from the date such Event of Default occurred until the date such Event of Default is cured or waived in writing in accordance herewith, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Post-Default Rate.

 

-37-


(d) Interest Payment in respect of the Loans . Interest on each Loan shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the first Business Day of each month, commencing on the first Business Day of the month following the month in which such Loan is made and at maturity (whether upon demand, by acceleration or otherwise); provided , however , that interest accruing at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable on demand. The Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to, and Administrative Agent may, from time to time, charge the Loan Account pursuant to Section 3.02 with the amount of any interest payment due hereunder.

(e) General . All interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days, including the first day but excluding the last day, elapsed.

Section 2.06 Reduction of Commitments; Prepayment of Loans .

(a) Reduction of Commitments .

(i) The Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay, on the Revolving Maturity Date, any Applicable Prepayment Premium in connection with such reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.

(ii) The Borrower may reduce the Total Revolving Credit Commitment to an amount (which may be zero) not less than the sum of (A) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans then outstanding, and (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans not yet made as to which a Notice of Borrowing has been given by the Borrower under Section 2.03. Each such reduction shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (unless the Total Revolving Credit Commitment in effect immediately prior to such reduction is less than $1,000,000), shall be made by providing not less than 5 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, shall be irrevocable and shall be accompanied by the payment of the Applicable Prepayment Premium. Once reduced, the Total Revolving Credit Commitment may not be increased. Each such reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender proportionately in accordance with its Revolving Pro Rata Share thereof.

(iii) The Total Term Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the date the Term Loans are made.

(b) Optional Prepayment .

(i) Revolving Loans . The Borrower may prepay without penalty or premium the principal of any Revolving Loan, in whole or in part.

(c) Mandatory Prepayment .

(i) The Borrower will immediately prepay the Revolving Loans, without penalty or premium, at any time when the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans exceeds the lesser of (A) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, and (B) the Borrowing Base, to the full extent of any such excess. On each day a Revolving Loan is requested hereunder, the Borrower shall hereby be deemed to represent and warrant to Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the Borrowing Base calculated as of such day equals or exceeds the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding on such day (after giving effect to such proposed Revolving Loan).

Nothing contained in this clause (iii) shall permit any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to make a Disposition of any property other than a Permitted Disposition.

(iv) Upon the issuance or incurrence by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than any Permitted Indebtedness), or the sale or issuance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any shares of its Capital Stock (other than sales or issuances of Capital Stock permitted pursuant to Section 6.02(c)), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith, together with any Applicable Prepayment Premium in respect thereof.

-39-


(v) Upon the receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Extraordinary Receipts, the Borrower shall prepay, without penalty or premium, the outstanding principal of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts, net of any reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and costs and other litigation expenses) incurred in collecting such Extraordinary Receipts.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Sections 2.06(c)(ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), any Lender, at its option, may elect not to accept such prepayment. Any Lender declining such prepayment (a “Declining Lender”) shall give written notice of the same to the Administrative Agent no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the prepayment date.

The Unused Line Fee shall be due and payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month commencing September 1, 2008, and on the Revolving Maturity Date.

(c) Renewal Fee .

-41-


Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any transferee or assignee thereof, including a participation holder (any such entity, a “ Transferee” )) by the jurisdiction in which such Person is organized or has its principal lending office (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, “ Taxes ”). If any Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any Transferee), (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an “ additional amount ”) necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.08) Administrative Agent or such Lender (or such Transferee) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (“ Other Taxes ”). Each Loan Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent and each Lender official receipts in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes payable hereunder promptly after payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

(c) The Loan Parties hereby jointly and severally indemnify and agree to hold Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against Taxes and Other Taxes (including, Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on any amounts payable under this Section 2.08) paid by such Person, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Such indemnification shall be paid within 10 days from the date on which any such Person makes written demand therefore specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

(d) Each Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States (a “ Non-U.S. Lender ”) agrees that it shall, no later than the Initial Funding Date (or, in the case of a Lender which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 11.07 after the Initial Funding Date, promptly after the date upon which such Lender becomes a party hereto) deliver to Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) a properly completed and duly executed copy of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI or W-8IMY or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, in each case claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax and payments of interest hereunder. In addition, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the IRC, such Non-U.S. Lender hereby represents to Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the IRC, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the IRC), and such Non-U.S. Lender agrees that it shall promptly

 

-42-


notify Administrative Agent, the assigning Lender or the Lender granting a participation, as applicable, in the event any such representation is no longer accurate. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and on or before the date, if any, such Non-U.S. Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “ New Lending Office ”). In addition, such Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms within 20 days after receipt of a written request therefor from Administrative Agent, the assigning Lender or the Lender granting a participation, as applicable. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.08, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.08(d) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(e) The Loan Parties shall not be required to indemnify any Non-U.S. Lender, or pay any additional amounts to any Non-U.S. Lender, in respect of United States Federal withholding tax pursuant to this Section 2.08 to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to United States Federal withholding tax existed on the date such Non-U.S. Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on the date such participation holder became a Transferee hereunder) or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Non-U.S. Lender designated such New Lending Office with respect to a Loan; provided , however , that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any Transferee, or Lender (or Transferee) through a New Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the Person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such Transferee, or Lender (or Transferee) making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation, or (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non-U.S. Lender to comply with the provisions of clause (d) above.

(f) The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 2.08 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 2.09 Extension of Term Maturity Date .

(a) Extension of Term Maturity Date . At any time not earlier than 60 days and not later than 15 days prior to the Term Maturity Date, the Borrower may request by notice to Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) (a “ Request for Extension of Term Maturity Date ”) that the Term Maturity Date be extended once by one year in accordance with this Section. Upon timely receipt by Administrative Agent of a Request for Extension of Term Maturity Date and the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent in a manner satisfactory to Administrative Agent, the Term Maturity Date shall be extended for one year:

ARTICLE III

FEES, PAYMENTS AND OTHER COMPENSATION

Section 3.01 Audit and Collateral Monitoring Fees . The Borrower acknowledges that pursuant to Section 6.01(f), representatives of Administrative Agent may visit any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries or conduct audits, inspections or field examinations of any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries and valuations or appraisals of any or all of the Collateral or business or enterprise valuations of the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries at any time, from time to time. So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such audits, inspections and examinations will be at reasonable times and in reasonable intervals, in a manner so as to not unduly disrupt the business of such Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, and if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such access shall not be limited. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, traveling expenses) incurred in connection with all such visits, audits, inspections, valuations, and field examinations and (ii) the reasonable cost of all audits, appraisals and business valuations (including enterprise valuation appraisals) conducted by third party auditors or appraisers on behalf of Administrative Agent.

Section 3.02 Payments; Computations and Statements .

(a) The Borrower will make each payment under this Agreement not later than 9:00 a.m. on the day when due, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, to Administrative Agent’s Account. All payments received by Administrative Agent after 9:00 a.m. on any Business Day will be credited to the Loan Account on the next succeeding Business Day. All payments shall be made by the Borrower without set-off, counterclaim, deduction or other defense to Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Except as provided in Section 2.03, after receipt, Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal ratably to the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided that Administrative Agent will cause to be distributed all interest and fees received from or for the account of the Borrower not less than once each month and in any event promptly after receipt thereof. The Lenders and the Borrower hereby authorize Administrative Agent to, and Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, charge the Loan Account of the Borrower with any amount due and payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document. Each of the Lenders and the Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent shall have the right to make such charges whether or not any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or whether any of the conditions precedent in Section 4.03 have been satisfied. Any amount charged to the Loan Account of the Borrower shall be deemed a Loan hereunder made by the Lenders to the Borrower, funded by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and shall be payable on demand. The Lenders and the Borrower confirm that any charges which Administrative Agent may so make to the Loan Account of the Borrower as herein provided will be made as an accommodation to the Borrower and solely at Administrative Agent’s discretion. Whenever any payment to be made under any Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment

 

-45-


shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be. All computations of fees shall be made by Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such fees are payable. Each determination by Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fees hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes in the absence of manifest error.

(b) Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower, promptly after the end of each calendar month, a summary statement (in the form from time to time used by Administrative Agent) of the opening and closing daily balances in the Loan Account of the Borrower during such month, the amounts and dates of the Loans made to the Borrower during such month, the amounts and dates of all payments on account of the Loans during such month and the Loans to which such payments were applied, the amount of interest accrued on the Loans during such month, the amount of charges to the Loan Account, and the amount and nature of any charges to the Loan Account made during such month on account of fees, commissions, expenses and other Obligations. All entries on any such statement shall be presumed to be correct and shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 3.03 Sharing of Payments, Etc. Except as provided in Section 2.03 hereof, if any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Obligation in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of similar obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in such similar obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided , however , that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender of any interest or other amount paid by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered). The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 3.03 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights (including the Lender’s right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 3.04 Apportionment of Payments . Subject to Section 2.03 hereof and to any written agreement among Administrative Agent or the Lenders:

(a) All payments of principal and interest in respect of the outstanding Loans, all payments of fees (other than any amounts payable under the Fee Letter, the audit and collateral monitoring fees provided for in Section 3.01, and any other amounts payable in respect of the Securities) and all other payments in respect of any other Obligations, shall be allocated by Administrative Agent among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or otherwise as provided

 

-46-


herein or, in respect of payments not made on account of the Obligations as designated by the Person making payment when the payment is made and the Borrower shall not be liable for any error by Administrative Agent in such regard.

(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, (i)  first , to pay the Obligations consisting of any fees, expense reimbursements, indemnities and other amounts then due to Administrative Agent until paid in full; (ii)  second , to pay interest due in respect of Administrative Agent Advances until paid in full; (iii)  third , to pay principal of Administrative Agent Advances until paid in full; (iv)  fourth , ratably to pay any fees and indemnities then due to the Lenders until paid in full; (v)  fifth , ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Loans until paid in full; (vi)  sixth , ratably to pay principal of the Loans until paid in full, and (vii)  seventh , to the ratable payment of all other Obligations then due and payable .

(d) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 3.04 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that both such priority provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 3.04 shall control and govern.

Section 3.05 Increased Costs and Reduced Return .

(a) If any Lender or Administrative Agent shall have determined that the adoption or implementation of, or any change in, any law, rule, treaty or regulation, or any policy, guideline or directive of, or any change in, the interpretation or administration thereof by, any court, central bank or other administrative or Governmental Authority, or compliance by any Lender or Administrative Agent or any Person controlling any such

 

-47-


Lender or Administrative Agent with any directive of, or guideline from, any central bank or other Governmental Authority or the introduction of, or change in, any accounting principles applicable to any Lender or Administrative Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or Administrative Agent (in each case, whether or not having the force of law) (each, a “ Change in Law ”), shall (i) subject any Lender, Administrative Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or Administrative Agent to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender or Administrative Agent or change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender, Administrative Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or Administrative Agent of any amounts payable hereunder (except for taxes on the overall net income of any Lender, Administrative Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or Administrative Agent), (ii) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against the Loans, or against assets of or held by, or deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender, Administrative Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or Administrative Agent or (iii) impose on any Lender, Administrative Agent or any Person controlling any such Lender or Administrative Agent any other condition regarding this Agreement or the Loans, and the result of any event referred to in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be to increase the cost to any Lender or Administrative Agent of making the Loans, or agreeing to make the Loans or to reduce any amount received or receivable by any Lender or Administrative Agent hereunder, then, upon demand by any such Lender or Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Administrative Agent such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or Administrative Agent for such increased costs or reductions in amount.

(b) If any Lender or Administrative Agent shall have determined that any Change in Law either (i) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender, Administrative Agent or any Person controlling such Lender or Administrative Agent and any Lender or Administrative Agent determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a direct or indirect consequence of the Loans made or maintained, any Lender’s, Administrative Agent’s or any such other controlling Person’s other obligations hereunder, or (ii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s or any such other controlling Person’s capital to a level below that which such Lender, Administrative Agent or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such circumstances as a consequence of the Loans made or maintained, or any agreement to make the Loans, or such Lender’s, Administrative Agent’s or such other controlling Person’s other obligations hereunder (in each case, taking into consideration, such Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s or such other controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon demand by any Lender or Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or Administrative Agent from time to time such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or Administrative Agent for such cost of maintaining such increased capital or such reduction in the rate of return on such Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s or such other controlling Person’s capital.
