Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.3 hereof, in the event any Borrower desires an Equipment Loan, Borrowing Agent shall give Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice. Should any amount required to be paid as interest hereunder, or as fees or other charges under this Agreement or any other agreement with Agent or Lenders, or with respect to any other Obligation under this Agreement, become due, same shall be deemed a request for a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan as of the date such payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full such interest, fee, charge or Obligation, and such request shall be irrevocable.

All such Equipment Loans shall be in such amounts as are requested by Borrowing Agent, in an amount up to, at Agent’s sole discretion, 90% of the net invoice cost (excluding taxes, shipping, delivery, handling, installation, overhead and other so called “soft” costs) of the Equipment then to be purchased by Borrowers and the total amount of all Equipment Loans advanced hereunder shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the Maximum Equipment Loan Amount.

The Equipment Loans may consist of Domestic Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, as Borrowing Agent may request. In the event that Borrowers desire to obtain or extend a LIBOR Rate Loan or to convert a Domestic Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrowing Agent shall comply with the notification requirements set forth in Sections 2.2(b) and (d) and the provisions of Sections 2.2(b) through (g) shall apply.

(f)            Making and Settlement of Advances. Section 2.6(a) of the Loan Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(a)           Each borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments (subject to any contrary terms of Section 2.22). Each borrowing of Swing Loans shall be advanced by Swing Loan Lender alone.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Advances shall be subject to earlier repayment upon (x) acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Agreement or (y) termination of this Agreement. Each payment (including each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on the Advances shall be applied (x) first, to the outstanding principal installments of the Equipment Loans in the inverse order of the maturities thereof, and (y) second, to the remaining Advances (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22) pro rata according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders in such order as Agent may determine.

(h)           Mandatory Prepayments. Sections 2.20(a) and 2.20(b) of the Loan Agreement shall be amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

(a)           Subject to Section 7.1 hereof, when any Borrower sells or otherwise disposes of any Collateral other than Inventory in the Ordinary Course of Business, Borrowers shall repay the Advances in an amount equal to the net proceeds of such sale (i.e., gross proceeds less the reasonable direct costs of such sales or other dispositions), such repayments to be made promptly but in no event more than three (3) Business Days following receipt of such net proceeds, and until the date of payment, such proceeds shall be held in trust for Agent. The foregoing shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such sale otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions hereof. Such repayments shall be applied to the outstanding Advances (x) first, to the outstanding principal installments of the Equipment Loans in the inverse order of the maturities thereof, and (y) second, to the remaining Advances (including cash collateralization of all Obligations relating to any outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2(b), provided however that if no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such repayments shall be applied to cash collateralize any Obligations related to outstanding Letters of Credit last) in such order as Agent may determine, subject to Borrowers’ ability to reborrow Revolving Advances in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b)           In the event of (x) any issuance or other incurrence of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness described in the definition of Permitted Indebtedness) by Borrowers, (y) the issuance of any Equity Interests by any Borrower, or (z) the receipt by any Borrower of the proceeds of any grant, Borrowers shall, no later than three (3) Business Days after the receipt by Borrowers of (i) the cash proceeds from any such issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness, (ii) the net cash proceeds of any issuance of Equity Interests, or (iii) the cash proceeds of any such grants, as applicable, repay the Advances in an amount equal to (x) one hundred percent (100%) of such cash proceeds in the case of such incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, (y) one hundred percent (100%) of such net cash proceeds in the case of an issuance of Equity Interests, and (z) one hundred percent (100%) of such cash proceeds in the case of receipt of proceeds of grants. Such repayments will be applied in the same manner as set forth in Section 2.20(a) hereof. The foregoing requirements regarding proceeds of grants shall not apply to the extent that they would require Borrowers to violate the terms of any grant agreement restricting the use of proceeds of such grant.
