Revolving Loans made pursuant to this clause (b) shall be accompanied by accrued
interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid but shall be
without premium or penalty. No voluntary prepayment of Revolving Loans shall
cause a reduction in the Revolv ing Loan Commitment.
(c) MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS. Borrower shall,
