occurrence and continuation of such Suspension Event.

2-4. Making of Revolving Credit Loans.

Lender that amount, from time to time, which is necessary so that the unpaid balance of the 

Revolving Credit Loans does not exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect. 

(ii) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of any Revenues the Borrower shall apply 

such Revenues to the repayment of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans; provided, that the 

Borrower may retain Revenues sufficient to (i) pay budgeted expenses for Ineligible Uses

Uses that are subject to the Carve-Out, or any FEMA reimbursable expense for contracts that

obligated by FEMA or any other federal entity and approved by the Oversight Board).

(c) The Lender shall endeavor to cause those applications of payments (if any), 

pursuant to Section 2-6(a) against Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding in such manner as results

Revolving Credit Loans are forgiven pursuant to Section 2-6(e)) of all Liabilities on the Maturity 

Date.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that any 

proceeds of a Commonwealth Financing are used to fund any loans to the Borrower, and such 

Commonwealth Financing is subsequently forgiven by the lender under such Commonwealth 

Financing, the Revolving Credit Loans (including without limitation, any accrued and unpaid interest 

on such Revolving Credit Loans) shall be forgiven on the same terms and conditions as such 

Commonwealth Financing is forgiven (and the corresponding Revolving Credit Commitment 

permanently reduced) in an amount equal to the amount of the Commonwealth Financing that is 

allocated to be forgiven with respect to any loans to the Borrower.

2-7. Interest Rates.

(a) All Revolving Credit Loans shall bear interest commencing on the Funding Date 

of such Revolving Credit Loan at the rate of 5%; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the 

contrary contained herein, in the event the Lender funds or refinances any Revolving Credit Loans 

hereunder with the proceeds of a Commonwealth Financing, the interest rates on all such funded or 

refinanced Revolving Credit Loans shall automatically, and without any further action by the Lender, 

accrue interest at the rate equal to the interest rates on the Revolving Credit Loans financed with such 

Commonwealth Financing. Any amounts of Revolving Credit Loans not funded or refinanced with 

any Commonwealth Financing shall remain at the above rates. 

(b) The Borrower shall pay accrued and unpaid interest on each Revolving Credit 

Loan in arrears as follows:

Commonwealth Facility shall hereinafter be payable on the same interest payment dates provided for with 

respect to the Commonwealth Financing.

(c) Following the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event of Default 

(and whether or not the Lender exercises the Lender’s rights on account thereof), all Revolving Credit 

Loans shall bear interest at a rate which is the aggregate of the interest rate then in effect plus two 

percent (2.00%) per annum, unless the Lender, with the prior written consent of the Oversight Board, 

elects not to exercise its rights to increase the interest rate in effect by said two percent (2.00%) per 

annum. 

(d) All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day 

year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if 

computed on the basis of a 365-day year).

2-8. Lender’s and Oversight Board’s Discretion.

Each reference in the Loan Documents to the exercise of discretion or the like by the Lender or 

the Oversight Board shall be to its exercise of such party’s judgment, in good faith, based upon such

Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) 

characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) 

exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in 

equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Liabilities 

hereunder.
