 17 









 (b) For purposes of this Agreement, in determining the Export-Related Borrowing Base there
shall be deducted from the Export-Related Borrowing Base an amount equal to (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the undrawn amount of outstanding Commercial Letters of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit and (ii) one hundred percent
(100%) of the undrawn amount of outstanding Warranty Letters of Credit less the amount of cash collateral held by Lender to secure Warranty Letters of Credit. 
 (c) Unless otherwise approved in writing by Ex-Im Bank, for Revolving Loan Facilities (other than Transaction Specific Revolving Loan Facilities), Borrower shall at all times ensure that the sum of the
outstanding amount of Disbursements and the undrawn amount of outstanding Commercial Letters of Credit that is supported by Eligible Export-Related Inventory or Eligible Export-Related Overseas Inventory (discounted by the relevant Advance Rate
percentages) in the Export-Related Borrowing Base does not exceed sixty percent (60%) of the sum of the total outstanding amount of Disbursements and the undrawn amount of all outstanding Commercial Letters of Credit. If informed by Lender or

Inventory, in form and amount satisfactory to Lender and Ex-Im Bank, or (ii) remove from the Export-Related Borrowing Base the portion of Eligible Export-Related Overseas Accounts Receivable or Eligible Export-Related Overseas Inventory that
supports greater than fifty percent (50%) of the Export-Related Borrowing Base.

field examinations at Borrower’s facilities in accordance with the time schedule and content for such examinations 

  
 18 









 
that Lender requests. Such field examinations shall address at a minimum: (x) the value of the Collateral against which Credit Accommodations may be provided, (y) the amount, if any,

the relevant time periods using the Export-Related Inventory Value. Whenever Export-Related Accounts Receivable or Export-Related Inventory derived from Indirect Exports are in the Export-Related Borrowing Base, Lender shall verify compliance with
Section 2.15 herein, including taking a random sampling of ultimate foreign purchasers.

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 2.14 Economic Impact Approval. (a) For Loan Facilities
up to and including $10 million, Borrower acknowledges that Capital Goods may not be included as Items, and Export-Related Inventory, Export-Related Overseas Inventory, Export-Related Accounts Receivable and Export-Related Overseas Accounts
Receivable in connection with the sale of such Capital Goods may not be included in the Export-Related Borrowing Base, if such Capital Goods would enable a foreign buyer to establish or expand production of a product where, as of the date of the

same as the product that is the subject of the AD/CVD order or suspension agreement; or (ii) the Buyer is the subject of a Section 201 injury determination by the International Trade Commission (“ITC”) and such product is
substantially the same as a product that is the subject of the ITC injury determination. Borrower may consult with Ex-Im Bank regarding the appropriate application of this Section 2.14(a) and may, at its option, request that Ex-Im Bank issue an
Economic Impact Approval covering any Items listed in Section 4.A. of the Loan Authorization Agreement. For Loan Facilities over $10 million involving Items that are Capital Goods, Borrower shall obtain from Ex-Im Bank, and abide by, an
