Any payment received by Agent later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest, fee or Breakage Costs shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day.
(ii) Unless Agent receives notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment or voluntary prepayment is due to the Lenders that Borrower will not make such payment or voluntary prepayment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that Borrower has made (or will make) such payment or voluntary prepayment in full to Agent on such date in immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrower does not make such payment or voluntary prepayment in full to Agent on the date when due, each Lender severally shall repay to Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.

If, at any time or for any reason, the aggregate principal balance of the Loans owed by Borrower to the Lender Group is greater than the Maximum Availability (an “Overadvance”), Borrower shall, within two Business Days pay to Agent, in cash, (i) the amount of such excess (to the extent not paid sooner from Collections), which amount shall be used by Agent to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loans, together with interest on such excess accrued to the date of prepayment, and (ii) if such payment is made on a date that is not a Remittance Date, any applicable Breakage Costs (such payment, a “Mandatory Prepayment”). Borrower promises to pay the Obligations (including principal, interest, fees, costs, and expenses) in full on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which the Obligations (other than the Bank Product Obligations) become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Any prepayment by the Borrower of Advances pursuant to this Section 2.3(c)(i), other than with respect to Mandatory Prepayments, shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 with integral multiples of $100,000 above such amount (except that, in the case of a prepayment of all Advances then outstanding, such prepayment need not be in an integral multiple of $100,000); any amount so prepaid may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed during the Revolving Credit Availability Period. A Prepayment Notice shall be irrevocable when delivered; or
7
(ii) release any Available Collections from the Collection Account (a “Collection Account Release”) in excess of the interest and other amounts described in clauses (A) through (K) of Section 2.4(a) by delivering to the Agent written notice at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed date of such release (a “Collection Account Release Notice”) (x) specifying the date and amount of the Collection Account Release and (y) certifying that, immediately before and after giving effect to such Collateral Account Release, (A) Borrower is and shall be in compliance with the Borrowing Base and (B) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. A Collections Account Release may be applied towards the acquisition of new Collateral or for the general corporate purposes of the Borrower. A Collection Account Release Notice shall be irrevocable when delivered.
No prepayment pursuant to clause (i) above or any Collection Account Release shall be given effect unless the Borrower has complied with the terms of any Hedge Agreement requiring that one or more Hedge Transactions be terminated or amended in whole or in part as the result of any such prepayment or such Collection Account Release, and the Borrower has paid all Hedge Breakage Costs owing to the relevant Hedge Provider for any such termination or amendment. If any Prepayment Notice relating to any prepayment is given, the amount specified in such Prepayment Notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any Breakage Costs (including Hedge Breakage Costs) related thereto. If any such Collection Account Release Notice is given, the amount remitted to Borrower pursuant to such Collection Account Release Notice shall be reduced by the amount of any Breakage Costs (including Hedge Breakage Costs) related thereto.”
