     (c) The Loans may be made as Revolving Loans as described in Section 2.2(a) hereof, and as the Term Loan as described in Section 2.3 hereof, as Swing Loans as described in Section 2.2(c) hereof, and Letters of Credit may be issued in accordance with Section 2.2(b) hereof.

     Section 2.2. Revolving Credit Commitment .

     (a)  Revolving Loans . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Commitment Period, the Revolving Lenders shall make a Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans to Borrowers in such amount or amounts as Administrative Borrower, through an Authorized Officer, may from time to time request, but not exceeding in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding hereunder the Revolving Credit Commitment, when such Revolving Loans are combined with the Letter of Credit Exposure and the Swing Line Exposure; provided that Borrowers shall not request any Alternate Currency Loan (and the Lenders shall not be obligated to make an Alternate Currency Loan) if, after giving effect thereto, the Alternate Currency Exposure would exceed the Alternate Currency Maximum Amount. Borrowers shall have the option, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to borrow Revolving Loans, maturing on the last day of the Commitment Period, by means of any combination of Base Rate Loans, Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Currency Loans. With respect to each Alternate Currency

41


 

Loan, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, Borrowers shall receive all of the proceeds of such Alternate Currency Loan in one Alternate Currency and repay such Alternate Currency Loan in the same Alternate Currency. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Borrowers shall be entitled under this Section 2.2(a) to borrow Revolving Loans, repay the same in whole or in part and re-borrow Revolving Loans hereunder at any time and from time to time during the Commitment Period.

     (b)  Letters of Credit .

     (i) Generally . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Commitment Period, Agent (or another Fronting Lender if agreed to by Agent) shall, in its own name, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, issue such Letters of Credit for the account of a Credit Party, as Administrative Borrower may from time to time request. Administrative Borrower shall not request any Letter of Credit (and the Fronting Lenders shall not be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit) if, after giving effect thereto, (A) the Letter of Credit Exposure would exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment, (B) the Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment, or (C) with respect to a request for a Letter of Credit to be issued in an Alternate Currency, the Alternate Currency Exposure would exceed the Alternate Currency Maximum Amount. The issuance of each Letter of Credit shall confer upon each Revolving Lender the benefits and liabilities of a participation consisting of an undivided pro rata interest in the Letter of Credit to the extent of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Commitment Percentage.

     (ii) Request for Letter of Credit . Each request for a Letter of Credit shall be delivered to Agent (and to the applicable Fronting Lender, if such Fronting Lender is a Lender other than Agent) by an Authorized Officer not later than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) three Business Days prior to the date of the proposed issuance of the Letter of Credit. Each such request shall be in a form acceptable to Agent (and the applicable Fronting Lender, if such Fronting Lender is a Lender other than Agent) and shall specify the face amount thereof, whether such Letter of Credit is a commercial documentary or a standby Letter of Credit, the account party, the beneficiary, the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, the expiry date thereof, the Alternate Currency if a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternate Currency is requested, and the nature of the transaction or obligation to be supported thereby. Concurrently with each such request, Administrative Borrower, and any Credit Party for whose account the Letter of Credit is to be issued, shall execute and deliver to the Fronting Lender issuing such Letter of Credit an appropriate application and agreement, being in the standard form of such Fronting Lender for such letters of credit, as amended to conform to the provisions of this Agreement if required by Agent. Agent shall give the Fronting Lender and each Revolving Lender notice of each such request for a Letter of Credit.

     (iii) Commercial Documentary Letters of Credit . With respect to each Letter of Credit that shall be a commercial documentary letter of credit and the drafts thereunder, whether issued for the account of a Borrower or any other Credit Party, Borrowers agree to (A) pay to Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Revolving Lenders, a

42


 

non-refundable commission based upon the face amount of such Letter of Credit, which shall be paid quarterly in arrears, on each Regularly Scheduled Payment Date, at a rate per annum equal to three hundred twenty-five (325.00) basis points multiplied by the face amount of such Letter of Credit; (B) pay to Agent, for the sole benefit of the Fronting Lender issuing such Letter of Credit, the Fronting Lender Fee; and (C) pay to Agent, for the sole benefit of the Fronting Lender issuing such Letter of Credit, such other issuance, amendment, renewal, negotiation, draw, acceptance, telex, courier, postage and similar transactional fees as are customarily charged by such Fronting Lender in respect of the issuance and administration of similar letters of credit under its fee schedule as in effect from time to time.

     (iv) Standby Letters of Credit . With respect to each Letter of Credit that shall be a standby letter of credit and the drafts thereunder, if any, whether issued for the account of a Borrower or any other Credit Party, Borrowers agree to (A) pay to Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Revolving Lenders, a non-refundable commission based upon the face amount of such Letter of Credit, which shall be paid quarterly in arrears, on each Regularly Scheduled Payment Date, at a rate per annum equal to three hundred twenty-five (325.00) basis points multiplied by the face amount of such Letter of Credit; (B) pay to Agent, for the sole benefit of the Fronting Lender issuing such Letter of Credit, the Fronting Lender Fee; and (C) pay to Agent, for the sole benefit of the Fronting Lender issuing such Letter of Credit, such other issuance, amendment, renewal, negotiation, draw, acceptance, telex, courier, postage and similar transactional fees as are customarily charged by such Fronting Lender in respect of the issuance and administration of similar letters of credit under its fee schedule as in effect from time to time.

     (v) Refunding of Letters of Credit with Revolving Loans . Whenever a Letter of Credit shall be drawn, Borrowers shall reimburse the Fronting Lender for the amount drawn. In the event that the amount drawn shall not have been reimbursed by Borrowers within one Business Day of the date of the drawing of such Letter of Credit, at the sole option of Agent (and the Fronting Lender, if the Fronting Lender is a Lender other than Agent), Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.2(a) and 2.6 hereof (other than the requirement set forth in Section 2.6(d) hereof), in the amount drawn. Such Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes (or, if a Lender has not requested a Revolving Credit Note, by the records of Agent and such Lender). Each Revolving Lender agrees to make a Revolving Loan on the date of such notice, subject to no conditions precedent whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to make a Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof when required by this Section 2.2(b)(v) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and that its payment to Agent, for the account of the Fronting Lender that issued such Letter of Credit, of the proceeds of such Revolving Loan shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not the Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated. Borrowers irrevocably authorize

43


 

and instruct Agent to apply the proceeds of any borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.2(b)(v) to reimburse, in full (other than such Fronting Lender’s pro rata share of such borrowing), such Fronting Lender for the amount drawn on such Letter of Credit. Each such Revolving Loan shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Loan unless otherwise requested by and available to Borrowers hereunder. Each Revolving Lender is hereby authorized to record on its records relating to its Revolving Credit Note (or, if such Lender has not requested a Revolving Credit Note, its records relating to Revolving Loans) such Revolving Lender’s pro rata share of the amounts paid and not reimbursed on the Letters of Credit.

     (vi) Participation in Letters of Credit . If, for any reason, Agent (and the applicable Fronting Lender if such Fronting Lender is a Lender other than Agent) shall be unable to or, in the opinion of Agent, it shall be impracticable to, convert any Letter of Credit to a Revolving Loan pursuant to the preceding subsection, or if the amount not reimbursed is a Letter of Credit drawn in an Alternate Currency, Agent (and such Fronting Lender if the Fronting Lender is a Lender other than Agent) shall have the right to request that each Revolving Lender fund a participation in the amount due with respect to such Letter of Credit, and Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof (by facsimile or email (confirmed by telephone) or telephone (confirmed in writing)). Upon such notice, but without further action, such Fronting Lender hereby agrees to grant to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to acquire from such Fronting Lender, an undivided participation interest in the amount due with respect to such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Commitment Percentage of the principal amount due with respect to such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to Agent, for the account of such Fronting Lender, such Revolving Lender’s ratable share of the amount due with respect to such Letter of Credit (determined in accordance with such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Commitment Percentage). Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in the amount due under any Letter of Credit that is drawn but not reimbursed by Borrowers pursuant to this subsection (vi) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not the Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this subsection (vi) by wire transfer of immediately available funds (in Dollars, except in the case of a Letter of Credit issued and drawn in an Alternate Currency, and, in such case, in such Alternate Currency), in the same manner as provided in Section 2.6 hereof with respect to Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Lender is hereby authorized to record on its records such Revolving Lender’s pro rata share of the amounts paid and not reimbursed on the Letters of Credit. In addition, each Lender agrees to risk participate in the Existing Letters of Credit as provided in subsection (vii) below.

44


 

     (vii) Existing Letters of Credit . Schedule 2.2 hereto contains a description of all letters of credit (including the Bond Letter of Credit) outstanding on, and to continue in effect after, the Closing Date. Each such letter of credit issued by a bank that is or becomes a Revolving Lender (provided that, for purposes of this Agreement, the Bond Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued by BMO Capital Markets Financing, Inc. (or any of its affiliates that may become a Revolving Lender under this Agreement) through its affiliate, Harris N.A.) under this Agreement on the Closing Date (each, an “Existing Letter of Credit”) shall constitute a “Letter of Credit” for all purposes of this Agreement, issued, for purposes of Section 2.2(b)(vi) hereof, on the Closing Date. Borrowers, Agent and the Revolving Lenders hereby agree that, from and after such date, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the Existing Letters of Credit, superseding any other agreement theretofore applicable to them to the extent inconsistent with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any reimbursement agreement applicable to the Existing Letters of Credit, the fees payable in connection with each Existing Letter of Credit to be shared with the Revolving Lenders shall accrue from the Closing Date at the rates provided in Section 2.2(b)(iii) and (iv) hereof.

     (viii) Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit . If Administrative Borrower so requests, a Letter of Credit shall have an automatic renewal provision; provided that any Letter of Credit that has an automatic renewal provision must permit Agent (or the applicable Fronting Lender if such Fronting Lender is a Lender other than Agent) to prevent any such renewal by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than thirty (30) days prior to the renewal date of such Letter of Credit. Once any such Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) Agent (and such Fronting Lender) to permit at any time the renewal of such Letter of Credit to an expiry date not later than one year after the last day of the Commitment Period.

     (ix) Letters of Credit Outstanding Beyond the Commitment Period . If any Letter of Credit is outstanding upon the termination of the Commitment, then, upon such termination, Borrowers shall deposit with Agent, for the benefit of the Fronting Lender, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit, either cash or a Supporting Letter of Credit, which, in each case, is (A) in an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the undrawn amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit, and (B) free and clear of all rights and claims of third parties. The cash shall be deposited in an escrow account at a financial institution designated by the applicable Fronting Lender. Such Fronting Lender shall be entitled to withdraw (with respect to the cash) or draw (with respect to the Supporting Letter of Credit) amounts necessary to reimburse such Fronting Lender for payments to be made under the Letters of Credit and any fees and expenses associated with such Letters of Credit, or incurred pursuant to the reimbursement agreements with respect to such Letters of Credit. Borrowers shall also execute such documentation as Agent or the applicable Fronting Lender may reasonably require in connection with the survival of the Letters of Credit beyond the Commitment or this Agreement. After expiration of all undrawn Letters of Credit, the Supporting Letter of Credit or the remainder of the cash, as the case may be, shall promptly be returned to Administrative Borrower.

45


 

     (x) Requests for Letters of Credit where One or More Revolving Lenders are Affected Lenders . No Letter of Credit shall be requested or issued hereunder if any Revolving Lender is at such time an Affected Lender hereunder, unless Agent (and the applicable Fronting Lender) has entered into satisfactory (to Agent) arrangements, including, without limitation, the posting of cash collateral, with Borrowers or such Revolving Lender to eliminate the reimbursement risk with respect to such Affected Lender.

     (c)  Swing Loans .

     (i) Generally . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Commitment Period, the Swing Line Lender shall make a Swing Loan or Swing Loans to Borrowers in such amount or amounts as Administrative Borrower, through an Authorized Officer, may from time to time request; provided that Administrative Borrower shall not request any Swing Loan if, after giving effect thereto, (A) the Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment, or (B) the Swing Line Exposure would exceed the Swing Line Commitment. Each Swing Loan shall be due and payable on the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto. Each Swing Loan shall be made in Dollars.

     (ii) Refunding of Swing Loans . If the Swing Line Lender so elects, by giving notice to Administrative Borrower and the Revolving Lenders, Borrowers agree that the Swing Line Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require that any Swing Loan be refinanced as a Revolving Loan. Such Revolving Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan unless otherwise requested by and available to Borrowers hereunder. Upon receipt of such notice by Administrative Borrower and the Revolving Lenders, Borrowers shall be deemed, on such day, to have requested a Revolving Loan in the principal amount of the Swing Loan in accordance with Sections 2.2(a) and 2.6 hereof (other than the requirement set forth in Section 2.6(d) hereof). Such Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes (or, if a Revolving Lender has not requested a Revolving Credit Note, by the records of Agent and such Revolving Lender). Each Revolving Lender agrees to make a Revolving Loan on the date of such notice, subject to no conditions precedent whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that such Revolving Lender’s obligation to make a Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof when required by this Section 2.2(c)(ii) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and that its payment to Agent, for the account of the Swing Line Lender, of the proceeds of such Revolving Loan shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not the Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated. Borrowers irrevocably authorize and instruct Agent to apply the proceeds of any borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.2(c)(ii) to repay in full such Swing Loan. Each Revolving Lender is hereby authorized to record on its records relating to its Revolving Credit Note (or, if such Revolving Lender has not requested a

46


 

Revolving Credit Note, its records relating to Revolving Loans) such Revolving Lender’s pro rata share of the amounts paid to refund such Swing Loan.

     (iii) Participation in Swing Loans . If, for any reason, Agent is unable to or, in the opinion of Agent, it is impracticable to, convert any Swing Loan to a Revolving Loan pursuant to the preceding Section 2.2(c)(ii), then on any day that a Swing Loan is outstanding (whether before or after the maturity thereof), Agent shall have the right to request that each Revolving Lender fund a participation in such Swing Loan, and Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof (by facsimile or email (confirmed by telephone) or telephone (confirmed in writing)). Upon such notice, but without further action, the Swing Line Lender hereby agrees to grant to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to acquire from the Swing Line Lender, an undivided participation interest in the right to share in the payment of such Swing Loan in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of such Swing Loan. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to Agent, for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender, such Revolving Lender’s ratable share of such Swing Loan (determined in accordance with such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Commitment Percentage). Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swing Loans pursuant to this Section 2.2(c)(iii) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not the Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this Section 2.2(c)(iii) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.6 hereof with respect to Revolving Loans to be made by such Revolving Lender.

     (iv) Requests for Swing Loan where One or More Revolving Lenders are Affected Lenders . No Swing Loan shall be requested or issued hereunder if any Revolving Lender is at such time an Affected Lender hereunder, unless Agent has entered into satisfactory (to Agent) arrangements, including, without limitation, the posting of cash collateral, with Borrowers or such Revolving Lender to eliminate the reimbursement risk with respect to such Affected Lender.

     Section 2.3. Term Loan Commitment . The Term Loan was made to Borrowers on the Original Closing Date.  As of the Closing Date, the Term Lenders hold the Term Loan in the amount of the Term Loan Commitment, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Term Loan is hereafter payable in thirteen (13) consecutive quarterly installments of Five Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($575,000), commencing September 30, 2009, and continuing on each Regularly Scheduled Payment Date thereafter, with the balance thereof payable in full on December 8, 2012. Administrative Borrower shall notify Agent, in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 2.6 hereof, whether the Term Loan will be a Base Rate

     (i) Base Rate Loans .

Interest on such Base Rate Loan shall be payable, commencing September 30, 2009, and continuing on each Regularly Scheduled Payment Date thereafter and at the maturity thereof.

     (ii) Eurodollar Loans . Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan outstanding from time to time, fixed in advance on the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto through the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, at the Derived Eurodollar Rate for Revolving Loans. Interest on such Eurodollar Loan shall be payable on each Interest Adjustment Date with respect to an Interest Period (provided that if an Interest Period shall exceed three months, the interest must be paid every three months, commencing three months from the beginning of such Interest Period).

     (iii) Alternate Currency Loans . Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan that is an Alternate Currency Loan outstanding from time to time, fixed in advance on the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto through the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, at the Derived Alternate Currency Rate.

     (ii) Eurodollar Loans . With respect to any portion of the Term Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan, Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan outstanding from time to time, fixed in advance on the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto through the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, at the Derived Eurodollar Rate for the Term Loan.

     (d)  Default Rate . Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if an Event of Default shall occur, upon the election of Agent or the Required Lenders (i) the principal of each Loan and the unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest, until paid, at the Default Rate, (ii) the fee for the aggregate undrawn amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit shall be increased by two percent (2%) in excess of the rate otherwise applicable thereto, and (iii) in the case of any other amount not paid when due from Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate; provided that, during an Event of Default under Section 8.1 or 8.12 hereof, the applicable Default Rate shall apply without any election or action on the part of Agent or any Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Administrative Borrower for distribution to Borrowers, as appropriate. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations.

(Eastern time) shall be deemed to have been made and received on the next Business Day.

     (d)  Payments to Lenders . Upon Agent’s receipt of payments hereunder, Agent shall immediately distribute to the appropriate Lenders (except with respect to Swing Loans, which shall be paid to the Swing Line Lender and any Lender that has funded a participation in the Swing Loans, or, with respect to Letters of Credit, certain of which payments shall be paid to the Fronting Lender issuing such Letter of Credit) their respective ratable shares, if any, of the amount of principal, interest, and facility and other fees received by Agent for the account of such Lender. Payments received by Agent in Dollars shall be delivered to the Lenders in Dollars in immediately available funds. Payments received by Agent in any Alternate Currency shall be delivered to the Lenders in such Alternate Currency in same day funds. Each appropriate Lender shall record any principal, interest or other payment, the principal amounts of Base Rate Loans, LIBOR Fixed Rate Loans and Swing Loans and Letters of Credit, the type of currency for each Loan, all prepayments and the applicable dates, including Interest Periods, with respect to the Loans made, and payments received by such Lender, by such method as such Lender may generally employ; provided that failure to make any such entry shall in no way detract from the obligations of Borrowers under this Agreement or any Note. The aggregate unpaid amount of Loans, types of Loans, Interest Periods and similar information with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit set forth on the records of Agent shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence with respect to such information, including the amounts of principal, interest and fees owing to each Lender.

     (e)  Timing of Payments . Whenever any payment to be made hereunder, including, without limitation, any payment to be made on any Loan, shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall in each case be included in the computation of the interest payable on such Loan; provided that, with respect to a LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan, if the next Business Day shall fall in

52


 

the succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the preceding Business Day and the relevant Interest Period shall be adjusted accordingly.

     (f)  Affected Lender . To the extent that Agent receives any payments or other amounts for the account of a Revolving Lender that is an Affected Lender, such Affected Lender shall be deemed to have requested that Agent use such payment or other amount to cash collateralize its unfunded risk participation in Swing Loans and the Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.2(b)(vi) and 2.2(c)(iii) hereof.

     Section 2.8. Prepayment .

     (a)  Right to Prepay .

     (i) Borrowers shall have the right at any time or from time to time to prepay, on a pro rata basis for all of the appropriate Lenders (except with respect to Swing Loans, which shall be paid to the Swing Line Lender and any Lender that has funded a participation in such Swing Loan), all or any part of the principal amount of the Loans, as designated by Administrative Borrower, representing the obligations under any Specific Commitment with the proceeds of such prepayment to be distributed on a pro rata basis to the holders of the Specific Commitment being prepaid. Such payment shall include interest accrued on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment and any amount payable under Article III hereof with respect to the amount being prepaid. Prepayments of Base Rate Loans shall be without any premium or penalty. Each prepayment of a Term Loan shall be applied to the principal installments thereof in the inverse order of their respective maturities.

     (ii) Borrowers shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, to prepay, for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender (and any Lender that has funded a participation in such Swing Loan), all or any part of the principal amount of the Swing Loans then outstanding, as designated by Administrative Borrower, plus interest accrued on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment.

     (iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.8 or otherwise to the contrary, at the discretion of Agent, in order to prepay Revolving Loans that were not advanced pro rata by all of the Revolving Lenders, any prepayment of a Loan shall first be applied to Revolving Loans made by the Revolving Lenders during any period in which a Defaulting Lender or Insolvent Lender shall exist.

     (b)  Notice of Prepayment . Administrative Borrower shall give Agent irrevocable written notice of prepayment of a Base Rate Loan or Swing Loan by no later than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) one Business Day before the Business Day on which such prepayment is to be made and written notice of the prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan not later than 1:00 P.M. (Eastern time) three Business Days before the Business Day on which such prepayment is to be made; provided that this notice requirement shall not be applicable, during a Cash Dominion Period, with respect to the daily application of funds in the Cash Collateral Account to prepay the Loans.

53


 

     (c)  Minimum Amount . Each prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan shall be in the principal amount of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), or the principal amount of such Loan (or, with respect to an Alternate Currency Loan, the Dollar Equivalent (rounded to a comparable amount) of such amount), except in the case of a mandatory payment pursuant to Section 2.11 or Article III hereof.

     Section 2.9. Facility and Other Fees; Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitment .

     (a)  Facility Fee . Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable account of the Revolving Lenders, as a consideration for the Revolving Credit Commitment, a facility fee from the Closing Date to and including the last day of the Commitment Period, payable quarterly, at a rate per annum equal to (i) fifty (50.00) basis points, multiplied by (ii) the average daily Maximum Revolving Amount in effect during such quarter. The facility fee shall be payable in arrears, on September 30, 2009 and continuing on each Regularly Scheduled Payment Date thereafter, and on the last day of the Commitment Period.

     (b)  Agent Fee . Borrowers shall pay to Agent the fees set forth in the Agent Fee Letter.

     (c)  Collateral Audit and Appraisal Fees . Borrowers shall reimburse Agent, for its sole benefit, for all expenses relating to any collateral assessment, that may be conducted from time to time by or on behalf of Agent, the scope and frequency of which shall be in Agent’s sole discretion (but is generally expected to be conducted no less frequently than two collateral field audits per year and one Inventory appraisal per year); provided that, absent an Event of Default, Borrowers need not reimburse Agent (i) for more than three collateral field audits during a calendar year, or (ii) one Inventory appraisal during a calendar year. The costs and expenses for field audits and appraisals performed by Agent during the absence of an Event of Default shall be as set forth in the Agent Fee Letter.

     (d)  Authorization to Debit Account . Each Credit Party hereby agrees that Agent has the right to debit from any Deposit Account of one or more Credit Parties, amounts owing to Agent by any Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents for payment of fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

     (e)  Optional Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitment . Borrowers may at any time and from time to time permanently reduce in whole or ratably in part the Maximum Revolving Amount to an amount not less than the then existing Revolving Credit Exposure, by giving Agent not fewer than five Business Days’ (or thirty (30) days if the Total Commitment Amount is to be reduced or terminated in its entirety) written notice of such reduction, provided that any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount, for all of the Lenders, of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), increased in increments of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the date of each such reduction and such Revolving Lender’s proportionate share thereof. After each such partial reduction, the facility fees payable hereunder shall be calculated upon the Maximum Revolving Amount as so reduced. If Borrowers reduce in whole the Revolving Credit Commitment, on the

54


 

effective date of such reduction (the Borrowers having prepaid in full the unpaid principal balance, if any, of the Loans, together with all interest (if any) and facility and other fees accrued and unpaid with respect thereto, and provided that no Letter of Credit Exposure or Swing Line Exposure shall exist), all of the Revolving Credit Notes shall be delivered to Agent marked “Canceled” and Agent shall redeliver such Revolving Credit Notes to Administrative Borrower. Any partial reduction in the Maximum Revolving Amount shall be effective during the remainder of the Commitment Period.

     Section 2.10. Computation of Interest and Fees . With the exception of Base Rate Loans, interest on Loans, Letter of Credit fees, Related Expenses and facility and other fees and charges hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year having three hundred sixty (360) days and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed. With respect to Base Rate Loans, interest shall be computed on the basis of a year having three hundred sixty-five (365) days or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed.

     Section 2.11. Mandatory Payments .

     (a)  Overadvance .

     (i) Revolving Credit Exposure . If, at any time, the Revolving Credit Exposure shall exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment, Borrowers shall, as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the next Business Day, pay an aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans sufficient to bring the Revolving Credit Exposure within the Revolving Credit Commitment.

     (ii) Term Loan Exposure . If, at any time, the Revolving Credit Exposure shall be Zero Dollars ($0) and the Term Loan Exposure shall exceed the Borrowing Base, Borrowers shall, as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the next Business Day, pay an aggregate principal amount of the Term
