(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.
