In such circumstances, Borrower agrees that any such telephonic notice will be confirmed in writing within 24 hours of the giving of such telephonic notice, but the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not affect the validity of the request.
3. Future Payment Fund Accounts.
3.01. Establishing Future Payment Fund Accounts. Borrower will establish one or more FPF Accounts with Lender or its affiliates. Each FPF Account will be held, applied or withdrawn in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable to FPF Accounts and this Loan Agreement, which are subject to change or termination at Lender’s discretion.
3.02. Maximum Amounts. The maximum account balance for each FPF Account shall be subject to the limitations set forth below:
a. The sum which may be held in a FPF Account associated with an operating or revolving or multiple advance line of credit Loan shall not exceed the lesser of the Note amount or the actual maximum outstanding balance on that Loan during the previous 12 months. Lender reserves the right to further limit the maximum FPF Account balance in the event Borrower’s historical note usage is significantly less than the lesser of their maximum outstanding balance or the Note amount; and
b. For all other Loans, the maximum amount that may be held in the FPF Account shall not exceed the outstanding principal balance on the associated Loan or some other amount as may be determined by Lender.
3.03. Rate of Interest. Interest will accrue on FPF Account balances at a minimum principal balance to be determined by Lender, from the date payments were received into an FPF Account. A variable interest rate, subject to adjustment in the sole discretion of Lender, will be paid on an FPF Account. The rate paid on funds held in any FPF Account will not exceed the rate paid by Borrower on the related Loan.
3.04. Funds Held and Withdrawal. Funds will be accepted into an FPF Account and held for application on Loans with, or serviced by, Lender. Funds will be applied to Borrower’s Obligations at Borrower’s direction or when any payment under any Loan covered by this Loan Agreement becomes due and payable. Application of funds to a Loan does not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make all payments as provided for in the Loan Documents. Funds may be returned to Borrower for purposes for which Lender would make or increase Loans to Borrower, upon request or upon request pursuant to Lender’s electronic funds transfer procedures. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that during an Event of Default, Lender has a right of set-off against all funds in Borrower’s FPF Accounts.
3.05. Funds at Risk. Funds held in any FPF Account are uninsured. Funds are protected only by the financial condition of Lender. In the event Lender were to become insolvent and liquidated, the funds in Borrower’s FPF Account would be applied against any outstanding Loan of Borrower. Any

l. Change of Location. Borrower shall provide Lender with reasonable notice in advance of any change in its headquarters location.
m. Additional Documents. From time to time, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender such additional documents and will provide such additional information as Lender may reasonably require to carry out the terms of this Loan Agreement and be informed of the status and affairs of Borrower.

o. Inspection Rights. Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, permit representatives and independent contractors of Lender to visit and inspect any of its properties, to examine its corporate, financial and operating records, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its directors, officers, and independent public accountants, and at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to Borrower; provided however, that when an Event of Default exists Lender (or any of their respective representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of Borrower at any time during normal business hours and without advance notice.

8.02. Notice and Opportunity to Cure. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan Documents, Lender shall not accelerate the maturity of a Loan (a) because of a monetary default (defined below), unless the monetary default is not cured within ten days of its due date, or (b) because of a nonmonetary default (defined below), unless the nonmonetary default is not cured within 30 days after (i) the date on which Lender transmits by facsimile, mails or delivers written notice of the nonmonetary default to Borrower, or (ii) the date on which Borrower notifies Lender (verbally or in writing) of the nonmonetary default.

9. Prepayment and Breakage Fees. The following Prepayment Fees shall apply to all Loans and supersedes and replaces any inconsistent terms in any Note. All Loans are subject to the following Prepayment Fees and Breakage Fees.

In addition, there is no Prepayment Fee for any prepaid principal if a prepayment is received on a Fixed Rate Maturity Date for the Loan Segment being prepaid. Other prepayments of principal shall be subject to a Prepayment Fee, as described below.
b. “Prepayment” Defined. For purposes of this Section 9, “prepayment” shall mean any instance wherein the indebtedness is partially or fully satisfied in any manner prior to a payment due date whether voluntarily or involuntarily (excluding scheduled payments that have been paid) pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. Prepayment shall include, but not be limited to: (i) any payment after an Event of Default under the Loan Documents; (ii) payment to Lender by any holder of an interest in any Collateral; (iii) any payment after the Loan Maturity Date is accelerated for any reason; (iv) payment resulting from any sale or transfer of Collateral pursuant to foreclosure, sale under power, judicial order or trustee’s sale; and (v) payment by sale, transfer or offsetting credit in connection with or under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or receivership or similar proceedings under any statute of the United States or any state thereof involving Borrower or the Collateral. In the event of any acceleration of the Loan Maturity Date, the amount due hereunder shall include the charge which would be due under the Prepayment Fee in the event of a voluntary prepayment at the time of such acceleration, and the date of acceleration of the Loan Maturity Date will be deemed to be the date of prepayment.

Xxxx Resources, a Delaware Limited Partnership; Note Nos. 6012758, 6012757, 6229354 and 6229356
c. Prepayment Fee. The “Prepayment Fee” is an amount intended to reasonably compensate Lender for the loss of the intended benefit of Lender’s bargain in the case of a prepayment. Borrower and Lender intend that the principal balance of each Loan Segment will yield to Lender an annual return after the date the Loan Segment is prepaid of not less than the annual return for the period when the interest rate is fixed. In the event of a prepayment, Lender will lose the intended benefit of its bargain. Accordingly, the Prepayment Fee is intended to reasonably compensate Lender for such loss and costs. The Prepayment Fee shall be payable on demand, and shall be an amount calculated on a make-whole basis, as calculated under Lender’s then current methodology.
9.02. Breakage Fee. In the event of an occurrence under subparagraphs a. or b. below, then Borrower shall immediately pay Lender, on demand, a “Breakage Fee” in an amount calculated on a make-whole basis, as calculated under Lender’s then current methodology:
a. Borrower provides Lender Notice that Loan principal is to be priced using a Fixed Rate Option, after which Borrower revokes such Notice; or
b. Borrower provides Lender Notice that Loan principal priced under a Fixed Rate Option is to be repriced or prepaid on other than a Pricing Date, after which Borrower revokes such Notice or fails to prepay pursuant to the Notice.
9.03. Participation. Participant(s), if any, may calculate a Prepayment Fee or Breakage Fee on a make-whole basis using a different methodology than Lender.
10. Enforcement and Waiver; Indemnity.
10.01. Enforcement and Waiver by Lender. Lender shall have the right at all times to enforce the provisions of the Loan Documents in strict accordance with the terms thereof, notwithstanding any conduct or custom on the part of Lender in refraining from so doing at any time or times. The failure of Lender at any time or times to enforce its rights under such provisions, strictly in accordance with the same, shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary to specific provisions or as having in any way or manner modified or waived the same. All rights and remedies of Lender are cumulative and concurrent, and the exercise of one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release of any other right or remedy. Lender shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies given it by the Loan Documents, all rights and remedies allowed by all applicable Laws and in equity.
10.02. Lender’s Expenses; Indemnity; Waiver of Damages by Borrower.
a. Expenses. Borrower shall pay all expenses incurred by Lender, including the reasonable fees, costs, charges and disbursements of counsel engaged or retained by Lender, in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, administration, enforcement or collection of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications, or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), including (i) all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the issuance amendment, renewal, or extension of any letter of credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (ii) all costs and expenses incurred in obtaining, perfecting, maintaining, determining the priority of, and releasing any security of Borrower’s Obligations, including, to the extent permitted by Law, all taxes, assessments or charges arising as a result of the transactions contemplated by any of the Loan Documents

b. Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and each Related Party of Lender (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by Borrower or any other party hereto arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations or the consummation of the transactions contemplated, (ii) any actual or alleged presence or release of hazardous materials on or from any Property owned or operated by Borrower, or any environmental liability related in any way to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Borrower or any other party hereto, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by Borrower or any other party hereto against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if Borrower or such party hereto has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Provided however, in the course of any proceeding of any nature contemplated by this subsection between or among Indemnitee, Borrower or any party hereto, each such party shall be responsible for their own fees and expenses, provided further, that following a nonappealable judgment, the prevailing party or substantially prevailing party shall be entitled to payment of its reasonable costs and expenses from the other party or parties.
c. Waiver by Borrower of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Borrower shall not assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Loan Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated, the transactions contemplated, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in Subsection a. above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated.
