by WEST at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter
period as may be agreed by the Series 2007-B2 Holders and the
Indenture Trustee) prior to the Funding Date set forth in such
Funding Request, which shall specify (i) the aggregate amount
of the Series 2007-B2 Loans to be made by the
Series 2007-B2 Holders and the amount of the
Series 2007-B2 Loan to be made by each individual
Series 2007-B2 Holder on such Funding Date, which individual
Series 2007-B2 Loans shall be made by the Series 2007-B2
Holders in proportion to their respective Maximum Commitments,
except as provided in Section 2.02(d), (ii) the proposed
Funding Date (which shall be a Payment Date if such Funding Request
includes a Collections Loan), and (iii) the application of
such Series 2007-B2 Loans as either Collections Loans or
Warehouse Loans or both. Each Funding Request delivered by WEST
pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be
irrevocable.
(c) On the
Funding Date specified in a Funding Request, each of the
Series 2007-B2 Holders shall, upon satisfaction of the
applicable conditions set forth in Article III hereof and in
Article IV of the Series 2007-B2 Supplement, make
available to WEST by wire transfer in immediately available funds
to the Collections Account, an amount equal to the amount of the
Series 2007-B2 Loan specified for such Series 2007-B2
Holder in such Funding Request. The Administrative Agent shall
direct the Indenture Trustee, in writing, to transfer the portion
of such Series 2007-B2 Loans constituting Warehouse Loans to
the Engine Acquisition Account, as provided in the Indenture, and
the portion of such Series 2007-B2 Loans constituting
Collections Loans shall be retained in the Collections Account and
included in the Available Collections Amount on the Payment Date on
which such Collections Loans are made.
(d) If any
Series 2007-B2 Holder shall default on its obligation to make
a Series 2007-B2 Loan on any Funding Date, one or more of the
other Series 2007-B2 Holders may elect (but shall not be
required to) to make the Series 2007-B2 Loan of the defaulting
Series 2007-B2 Holder. In such event, the Maximum
Principal Balance of the Series 2007-B2 Note held by the
defaulting Series 2007-B2 Holder and the Maximum Commitment of
the defaulting Series 2007-B2 Holder shall be reduced by the
amount of the Series 2007-B2 Loan so made, and the Maximum
Principal Balance of the Series 2007-B2 Note held by the
Series 2007-B2 Holder making such Series 2007-B2 Loan and
the Maximum Commitment of such Series 2007-B2 Holder shall be
increased by the amount of such Series 2007-B2
Loan.
(e) WEST may, at
any time not later than thirty (30) days prior to the then existing
Conversion Date, by written notice to each Series 2007-B2
Holder, make written request for the Series 2007-B2 Holders to
extend the Conversion Date for an additional period specified in
such written notice. The Series 2007-B2 Holders shall make a
determination, in their sole discretion and after a full credit
review, not more than thirty (30) days after such written notice is
delivered and, if earlier, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to
the then applicable Conversion Date as to whether or not they will
agree to extend the Conversion Date; provided, however ,
that the failure of any Series 2007-B2 Holder to make a timely
response to WEST’s request for extension of the Conversion
Date within the foregoing period shall be deemed to constitute a
refusal by such Series 2007-B2 Holder to extend the Conversion
Date. It shall be a condition to the extension of the Conversion
Date that (i) the Maximum Commitment of all of the
Series
7
2007-B2 Holders under this Agreement be
extended to the same date, (ii) a Rating Agency Confirmation
shall have been received in respect of such extension if it is
later than the first anniversary of the initial Conversion Date,
(iii) the commitments of all Series 2007-A2 Holders under
the Series 2007-A2 Note Purchase Agreement be extended to the
same date, and (iv) written notice of such extension shall
have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee by the Administrative
Agent or WEST.
Section 2.03.
Decrease in Maximum Commitments . WEST may, upon at
least five (5) Business Days’ notice to the
Series 2007-B2 Holders, terminate in whole or reduce in part
the aggregate Maximum Commitments of the Series 2007-B2
Holders and the Maximum Principal Balances of the
Series 2007-B2 Notes in an aggregate amount not to exceed the
excess of such Maximum Principal Balances over the then aggregate
Outstanding Principal Balance of the Series 2007-B2 Notes;
provided that any partial reduction of the aggregate Maximum
Commitments of the Series 2007-B2 Holders and the Maximum
Principal Balances of the Series 2007-B2 Notes shall be
applied pro rata to the individual Maximum Commitments of the
Series 2007-A2 Holders and the Maximum Principal Balances of
the Series 2007-B2 Notes, respectively, and shall be
accompanied by a proportionate partial reduction (based on the
ratio of the Maximum Commitments of such Series prior to such
reduction) of the aggregate maximum commitments of the
Series 2007-A2 Holders. Each notice of reduction or
termination pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be
irrevocable, and such reduction shall be deemed to occur without
any Series 2007-B2 Holder having to surrender its
Series 2007-B2 Note(s) in exchange for a new
Series 2007-B2 Note reflecting its reduced Maximum Commitment
and reduced Maximum Principal Balance. WEST shall cause the
Administrative Agent promptly to deliver to the Indenture Trustee
notice of any such reduction or termination.
