C. The parties desire to amend the terms of the 2002 Loan Agreement to (i) extend the Revolving Loan Maturity Date; (ii) amend the interest rates applicable to the Revolving Loan; and (iii) provide for a non-use fee. The parties agree to undertake such modification in accordance with the terms, subject to the conditions, and in reliance upon the recitals, representations, warranties, and covenants set forth herein, in the Agreement, and in the other Loan Documents, irrespective of whether entered into or delivered on or after November 27, 2002.
D. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Ninth Amendment shall have the meanings respectively ascribed to them in the 2002 Loan Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
A G R E E M E N T :
A. Amendment to Definition of “Revolving Loan Maturity Date”. The term “Revolving Loan Maturity Date” is hereby deleted from subsection 1.1 of the 2002 Loan Agreement and replaced in its entirety with the following:
“Revolving Loan Maturity Date” means March 31, 2010.
B. Amendment to Section 2.1 of the 2002 Loan Agreement. Section 2.1 of the 2002 Loan Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:
“2.1. The Revolving Loan; Non-Use Fee. Lender agrees to extend to Borrower the credit facility described in this Section 2.1 in the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loan Amount. Lender agrees to extend the Revolving Loan to Borrower in accordance with the terms of, and subject to the conditions set forth in, this Agreement, the Revolving Note and the other Loan Documents. An initial Borrowing Tranche under the Revolving Loan shall be borrowed on the Closing Date and, thereafter, any such Borrowing Tranche may be converted or renewed from time to time in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Subject to Section 2.6 and any other conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement, any Borrowing Tranche under the Revolving Loan shall be treated as, at Borrower’s election subject to and in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement: (a) subject to the minimum interest rate contemplated below, a LIBO Rate Tranche and shall bear interest per annum at a rate equal to 4.00% (400 basis points) plus the LIBO Rate; or (b) subject to the minimum interest rate contemplated below, a Base Rate Tranche and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the Base Rate plus 4.00% (400 basis points); provided, however, in no event shall any LIBO Rate Tranche or Base Rate Tranche bear interest at a
rate per annum lower than 5.00% (500 basis points) per annum. The unpaid principal balance plus all accrued but unpaid interest on the Revolving Loan shall be due and payable on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, or such earlier date on which such amount shall become due and payable on account of acceleration by Lender in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Note and this Agreement. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender, with respect to the Revolving Loan, for the period commencing on the date hereof and continuing through the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, an amount equal to the product of (i) the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Loan Amount and (ii) 0.25% (25 basis points). Such non-use fee shall be payable quarterly by Borrower in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. The non-use fee shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.”
