Procedures for Borrowing Subject to the prior satisfaction of all other applicable conditions to the making of a Term Loan set forth in this Agreement, to obtain a Term Loan, Borrower shall notify the Lenders (which notice shall be irrevocable) by electronic mail, facsimile, or telephone by 12:00 noon Eastern time three (3) Business Days prior to the date the Term Loan is to be made. Together with any such electronic, facsimile or telephonic notification, Borrower shall deliver to the Lenders by electronic mail or facsimile a completed Disbursement Letter executed by a Responsible Officer or his or her designee. The Lenders may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom a Lender reasonably believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. On the Funding Date, each Lender shall credit and/or transfer (as applicable) to the Designated Deposit Account, an amount equal to its Term Loan Commitment.
Procedure for Borrowing (a) The Borrower may request a borrowing to be made on any Business Day during the Commitment Period (each such date a “Funding Date”) by delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Lender a Notice of Borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit B (a “Notice of Borrowing”), appropriately completed, which Notice of Borrowing must be received no later than 2:00 p.m. (Washington, D.C. time) five (5) Business Days’ prior to the requested Funding Date, which notice, if not withdrawn prior to the date which is two (2) Business Days’ prior to such Funding Date, shall thereafter become irrevocable. Each Loan shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 (or, if the Available Amount is less than such amount, such lesser amount) or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
(b) Upon the Borrower’s request for a borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03(a), and assuming all conditions precedent to the making of such Loan have been satisfied (or waived by the Lender in accordance with Section 10.01), not later than 2:00 p.m. (Washington, D.C. time) on the requested Funding Date, the Lender shall make the proceeds of such Loan available to the Borrower in immediately available funds, via wire transfer (pursuant to the wire transfer instructions set forth in Section 2.03(c)).
(c) The Borrower hereby directs the Lender to send the proceeds of all Loans (i) by wire transfer to the account specified on Schedule A or (ii) to such other account as shall be designated by the Borrower in a Notice of Borrowing.
(d) The Borrower agrees to compensate the Lender for the losses (as calculated pursuant to the next succeeding sentence) that the Lender incurs as a consequence of a failure of the Borrower to make a borrowing of Loans of the requested amount after the Borrower has delivered a Notice of Borrowing which has become irrevocable in accordance with Section 2.03(a). Such losses shall be calculated as follows: an amount equal to the product of (i) the sum of (A) the weighted average cost (as determined by the Lender in its sole discretion) of all nominal marketable Indebtedness issued by UST over the preceding thirty (30) days, plus (B) 1.00%, multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (A) the number of days constituting the period from the date such Notice of Borrowing delivered by the Borrower has become irrevocable to the date the Borrower defaults in making a borrowing pursuant to such Notice of Borrowing, divided by (B) three hundred sixty (360) days, multiplied by (iii) the amount not so borrowed. A certificate as to the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) submitted to the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The covenant in this Section 2.03(d) shall survive the termination of this Loan Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Requests for Borrowing The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a "Notice of Borrowing") not later than 12:00 noon (Charlotte time) (i) at least one Business Day before each Base Rate Loan and (ii) at least three (3) Business Days before each LIBOR Rate Loan, of its intention to borrow, specifying (A) the date of such borrowing, which shall be a Business Day, (B) the amount of such borrowing, which shall be with respect to Base Rate Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (C) whether the Loans are to be LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans or a combination thereof and, if a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each and (D) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify and furnish each Lender with a copy of each Notice of Borrowing.

In lieu of delivering the above-described written request, any Authorized Person may give Agent electronic notice of such request by the required time. In such circumstances, Borrowers agree that any such electronic notice will be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of the giving of such electronic notice, but the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not affect the validity of the request.

By 5:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the next Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall use its best efforts to confirm to the Borrower the receipt of such items and whether it has reviewed such items and found them to be complete and in proper form. If the Administrative Agent makes a determination that the items are incomplete or not in proper form, it will communicate such determination to the Borrower. Failure by the Administrative Agent to respond to the Borrower by 5:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the day the related Funding Request is delivered by the Borrower shall constitute an implied determination that the items are incomplete or not in proper form.
