2.on the date of any voluntary or mandatory partial prepayment of the Term Loans (or, in the case of a mandatory partial prepayment under the Credit Agreement, on the date such mandatory prepayment becomes due and payable) (each such date, a “Partial Exit Fee Payment Date”), Borrower shall pay to Term Loan Servicer, for the benefit of all Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, an amount equal to four percent (4.00%) of the principal amount of the Term Loans paid or prepaid (or in the case of a mandatory prepayment, required to be paid) on such Partial Exit Fee Payment Date (the fee in this paragraph 2 is herein referred to as the “Partial Exit Fee”).
3.on the Closing Date, to pay Agent, for the benefit of all Lenders committed to make Revolving Loans on the Closing Date, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, a fee in an amount equal to (a) the Revolving Loan Commitment, multiplied by (b) one half of one percent (0.50%).
