Procedure for Advances (a) During the Reinvestment Period, the Note Purchaser will make Advances on any Business Day at the request of the Borrower, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Sections 2.01 and 2.02 and subject to the provisions of Article III hereof.
(b) Each Advance shall be made on at least one Business Day’s irrevocable written notice from the Borrower to the Agent, with a copy to the Trustee and the Collateral Custodian, in the form of a Notice of Borrowing; provided that such Notice of Borrowing shall be deemed to have been received by the Agent on a Business Day if delivered no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day and if not delivered by such time, shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day. The Borrower or Servicer shall post all Loan Agreements and other loan documents and information with respect to each proposed Eligible Loan Asset, if any, to an IntraLinks (or other replacement) website to which the Agent has access. Each Notice of Borrowing shall include a duly completed Borrowing Base Certificate (updated to the date such Advance is requested and giving pro forma effect to the Advance requested and the use of the proceeds thereof), and shall specify:
(i) the aggregate amount of such Advance, which amount shall not cause the Advances Outstanding to exceed the Borrowing Base; provided that, except with respect to an Advance pursuant to Section 2.02(f), the amount of such Advance must be at least equal to $500,000;
(ii) the proposed date of such Advance;
(iii) a representation that all conditions precedent for an Advance described in Article III hereof have been satisfied; and
(iv) the amount of cash that will be funded into the Unfunded Exposure Account in connection with the Advance, if applicable. On the date of each Advance, the Note Purchaser shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make available to the Borrower on the applicable Advance Date in same day funds, the amount of such Advance, by payment into the account which the Borrower has designated in writing; provided that, with respect to an Advance funded pursuant to Section 2.02(f), the Note Purchaser shall remit the Advance equal to the Exposure Amount Shortfall in same day funds to the Unfunded Exposure Account.
(c) The Advances shall bear interest at the Yield Rate.
(d) Subject to Section 2.18 and the other terms, conditions, provisions and limitations set forth herein (including, without limitation, the payment of the Make-Whole Premium, as applicable), the Borrower may (i) borrow and reborrow Advances without any penalty, on and after the Restatement Date and prior to the end of the Reinvestment Period and (ii) repay or prepay Advances without any penalty, on and after the Restatement Date and prior to the Facility Maturity Date.
(e) Determinations by the Note Purchaser of the existence of any Eurodollar Disruption Event (any such determination to be communicated to the Borrower by written notice from the Agent promptly after the Agent learns of such event), or of the effect of any Eurodollar Disruption Event on its making or maintaining Advances at LIBOR, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the occurrence of an Event of Default or the existence of an Unmatured Event of Default or a Borrowing Base Deficiency), if, on the last day of the Reinvestment Period, the amount on deposit in the Unfunded Exposure Account is less than the aggregate of all Exposure Amounts, the Borrower shall request an Advance in the amount of such shortfall (the “Exposure Amount Shortfall”). Following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing (which shall specify the account details of the Unfunded Exposure Account where the funds will be made available), the Note Purchaser shall fund such Exposure Amount Shortfall in accordance with Section 2.02(b), notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including, without limitation, the Borrower’s failure to satisfy any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02).
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.
