 2.2.1 Mandatory Prepayment. (a) If at any time the Aggregate Total Outstandings (calculated
as of the most recent Computation Date) exceeds either the Aggregate Commitment or the Borrowing Base, then (A) the US-Borrower shall be obligated to immediately repay Advances under the US Subfacility, and (B) each Non-US Borrower shall
be jointly and severally obligated to immediately repay Advances under all Subfacilities, in each case in a principal amount that is, together with any other Borrower’s repayment pursuant to this sentence, sufficient to eliminate any such
excess; provided that no Non-US Borrower shall be required to repay any amount to the extent prohibited by applicable law. If at any time (in each case measured as of the most recent Computation Date) (i) the Aggregate Total Outstandings in
respect of the Euro Subfacility exceed the Euro Subfacility Limit, (iii) the Aggregate Total Outstandings in respect of the Singapore Subfacility exceed the Singapore Subfacility Limit, (iv) the Aggregate Total Outstandings in respect of

to eliminate any such excess. Until such time as an excess in an affected Subfacility is so eliminated, the Aggregate Commitment shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Dollar Amount of the excess of such affected Subfacility. 
 2.2.2 Voluntary Prepayment. The applicable Borrower may from time to time pay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts
required by Section 3.4 but without penalty or premium, all outstanding Advances under its respective Facility, or, in the minimum amount of EUR 1,000,000 or any integral multiples of EUR 100,000 in excess thereof in the case of the Euro

in excess thereof in the case of a Floating Rate Advance), any portion of the outstanding Advances upon three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m. (local time). 
 2.5 Minimum Amount of Each Advance. Each Advance shall be in a minimum amount of (i) EUR 1,000,000 and in multiples of EUR 100,000 if in
excess thereof in the case of the Euro Subfacility, (ii) S$ 1,000,000 and in multiples of S$ 100,000 if in excess thereof in the case of the Singapore Subfacility, (iii) $1,000,000 and in multiple of $100,000 if in excess thereof in the

	 	(ii)	the aggregate amount of such Advance, 

  

	 	(iii)	the Type of Advance; and 

  

	 	(iv)	the Interest Period and Agreed Currency applicable thereto. 

 Timing and mechanics of Overdraft Loans shall be as set forth in the Overdraft Facility Agreement. 
 2.7 Continuation; Rollover
and Conversion of Outstanding Advanceds. 
 2.7.1 Continuation of Eurocurrency Advances. The provisions of this
Section 2.7.1 shall apply to each Subfacility. Each Eurocurrency Advance shall continue as an Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time each such Advance shall automatically continue as an
Advance in the same Agreed Currency with an Interest Period of one month unless (x) such Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.2 or (y) the applicable Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a
Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Advance continue as an Advance for the same or another Interest Period. 
 Subject to the terms of Section 2.5, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, any applicable Borrower may elect from time to time to continue all or any part of an Eurocurrency Advance, SIBOR
Advance or HIBOR Advance denominated in the same Agreed Currency. Any such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, (a “Continuation Notice”) of
each continuation of an Advance not later than 10:00 a.m. (London time) at least three Business Days prior to the date of the requested continuation to the Administrative Agent, specifying: 
  

	 	(i)	the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such continuation, and 

  

	 	(ii)	the Agreed Currency and amount into which such Advance is to be continued and the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 

 2.7.3A Continuation of HIBOR Advance. With respect to each HIBOR Advance which is outstanding, at or before 11:00 a.m. three Business Days before
the end of the then applicable HIBOR Interest Period, the Hong Kong-Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in form and substance substantially as attached as Exhibit G-1 (“Hong Kong Rollover 

  

 - 6 - 








 
Notice”) either of (i) the next HIBOR Interest Period which such Hong Kong-Borrower has selected as applicable to the HIBOR Advance, which
new HIBOR Interest Period shall commence on and include the last day of the prior HIBOR Interest Period, or (ii) the intention of such Hong Kong-Borrower to repay such HIBOR Advance at the end of the relevant HIBOR Interest Period. If such Hong
Kong-Borrower fails to select and to notify the Administrative Agent of the HIBOR Interest Period applicable to the SIBOR Advance, or of its intention to repay such SIBOR Advance, the Hong Kong-Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a new
Interest Period of one month for such Advance. 
 2.9 Changes in Interest Rate, etc. Each Eurocurrency Advance, SIBOR Advance and
HIBOR Advance shall bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate, the SIBOR Rate or the HIBOR Rate, as applicable, on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not
including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent as applicable to such Advance based upon each Borrower’s selections under Sections 2.6 and 2.7 and otherwise in accordance
with the terms hereof. No Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date. Each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Floating Rate Advance is
made or is converted from a Eurocurrency Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.7.2 to but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into a Eurocurrency Advance pursuant to Section 2.7.2 at a rate
per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advances maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in such applicable rate. Each Eurocurrency
Advance, SIBOR Advance and HIBOR Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Eurocurrency Interest Period, SIBOR Interest Period and HIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto to (but
not including) the last day of such Eurocurrency Interest Period, SIBOR Interest Period or HIBOR Interest Period at the Eurocurrency Rate, SIBOR Rate, or HIBOR Rate as applicable determined as applicable to such Eurocurrency Advance, SIBOR Advance
or HIBOR Advance. 
 2.12 Increase in Commitments. 
 (a) The US-Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Commitments from one or more
Incremental Lenders (which may include any existing Lender), in an amount such that all such Incremental Commitments combined do not exceed the Dollar Amount of $15,000,000; provided that after giving effect to such increase the Aggregate Commitment
shall not exceed the Dollar Amount of $40,000,000 and provided further that each Incremental Commitment and each Incremental Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the
Incremental Commitments being requested (which shall be in an amount of at least the Dollar Amount of $1,000,000), and (ii) the date on which such Incremental Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than ten
(10) Business Days after the date of such notice). For the avoidance of doubt, only the approval of the Administrative Agent with regard to, and no approval from the Lenders shall be required with regard to, and no Lender shall have the right
to object to, any request by the US-Borrower to the Administrative Agent to arrange for the making of any Incremental Commitment.
