Alternate Rate of Interest If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:
(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or
(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.
Subsequent Variable Rate Transactions From the date hereof until such time as the Note is fully converted or fully repaid, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price. The Buyer shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages.
Negotiation of alternative rate of interest If the Agent’s notice under Clause 5.6 is served after an Advance is made, the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders or (as the case may be) the Affected Lender shall use reasonable endeavours to agree, within the 30 days after the date on which the Agent serves its notice under Clause 5.6 (the “Negotiation Period”), an alternative interest rate or (as the case may be) an alternative basis for the Lenders or (as the case may be) the Affected Lender to fund or continue to fund their or its Contribution to the relevant Advance or Advances during the Interest Period concerned.
Duration of normal Interest Periods Subject to Clauses 6.3 and 6.4, each Interest Period shall be:
(a) 3 or 6 months; or
(b) such other period (as proposed by the Borrower to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Hamburg time) 5 Business Days before the commencement of the Interest Period) as the Agent may, with the authorisation of the Majority Lenders, agree with the Borrower (failing which the Interest Period shall be three months).
Interest Period Commencing on the first (1st) Payment Date of the month following the month in which the Funding Date of the applicable Term Loan Advance occurs, and continuing on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall make monthly payments of interest on the principal amount of each Term Loan Advance at the rate set forth in Section 2.2(a).
Extension of the Maturity Date (a) Borrower shall have the option to extend the term of the Loan beyond the Initial Maturity Date for one year, until the First Extended Maturity Date, upon satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:
(i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Initial Maturity Date;
(ii) Borrower shall notify Lender of its irrevocable election to extend the Initial Maturity Date as aforesaid not earlier than six (6) months, and no later than one (1) month, prior to the Initial Maturity Date;
(iii) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender an Officer’s Certificate reaffirming and restating for the benefit of each Lender each of Borrower’s representations and warranties as of the Initial Maturity Date (or, if any such representation or warranty speaks of a particular date, as of such date);
(iv) if the Interest Rate Cap Agreement then in effect is scheduled to mature prior to the First Extended Maturity Date, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Initial Maturity Date either (i) one or more Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreements from an Acceptable Counterparty with an effective date as of the Initial Maturity Date or (ii) an amendment to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, which in the case of either (i) or (ii) shall have a scheduled termination date no earlier than the First Extended Maturity Date;
(v) Borrower shall have paid or reimbursed Lender for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel, if any, engaged to review the Interest Rate Cap Agreement) in connection with the foregoing. Lender acknowledges and agrees that it shall not charge any fee (other than costs and expenses, as provided in the preceding sentence and the extension fee described in clause (vi) below) in connection with any extension of the Loan as described in this Section 2.7;
(vi) Borrower shall have paid to Lender an extension fee in the amount of one half of one percent (0.5%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan;

(viii) Mortgage Loan and each Other Mezzanine Loan shall be contemporaneously extended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Loan shall be a DPO Mezzanine Loan (under and as defined in the Note Sales Agreement) on the Initial Maturity Date, then to the extent that the Mortgage Loan and the Other Mezzanine Loans that are not DPO Mezzanine Loans are being extended, the Maturity Date of the Loan shall be automatically extended until the First Extended Maturity Date on such Initial Maturity Date without the taking of any action by any Person.

(vi) Borrower shall have paid to Lender an extension fee in the amount of one half of one percent (0.5%) of the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan; and
(vii) Mortgage Loan and each Other Mezzanine Loan shall be contemporaneously extended. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Loan shall be a DPO Mezzanine Loan (under and as defined in the Note Sales Agreement) on the First Maturity Date, then to the extent that the Mortgage Loan and the Other Mezzanine Loans that are not DPO Mezzanine Loans are being extended, the Maturity Date of the Loan shall be automatically extended until the Second Extended Maturity Date on such First Maturity Date without the taking of any action by any Person.

Base Rate Option A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or
BID ACCEPTANCE PERIOD A bid shall constitute an irrevocable offer for a period of ninety (90) days from the bid opening date or until the date of award.

Initial Term Loan The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Notice of Borrowing prior to 11:00 a.m. on the Closing Date requesting that the Term Loan Lenders make the Initial Term Loan as a Base Rate Loan on such date (provided that the Borrower may request, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, that the Lenders make the Initial Term Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan if the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a letter in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent indemnifying the Lenders in the manner set forth in Section 5.9 of this Agreement). Upon receipt of such Notice of Borrowing from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term Loan Lender thereof. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Closing Date, each Term Loan Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds, the amount of such Initial Term Loan to be made by such Term Loan Lender on the Closing Date. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of the Initial Term Loan in immediately available funds by wire transfer to such Person or Persons as may be designated by the Borrower in writing.
