Such Loan Request shall specify the applicable Closing Date, the Original Principal Amount of such Loan and the applicable disbursement instructions. Borrower agrees that the proceeds of all Loans shall be used solely for the purposes described in such Loan Request.

Section 2.03. Scheduled Payments. On each Payment Date, Borrower shall pay the aggregate scheduled principal and interest payments owed with respect to each Loan as set forth in the Notes and any prepayment as provided in Section 2.04; provided, however, on the Stated Maturity Date or date of acceleration of a Loan, Borrower shall repay in full the aggregate then outstanding principal amount of such Loan plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts owed hereunder or under any other Loan Document related to such Loan.

All amounts required to be paid by Borrower hereunder shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds to the following account, or to such other account as designated by Lender to Borrower in writing:

Any payment received after 12:00 p.m. New York time will be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment

may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or the fees hereunder, as the case may be. All payments shall be applied first to accrued interest and then to principal.

Section 2.04. Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. Prior to the Stated Maturity Date, Borrower may, from time to time on any Payment Date occurring after the Voluntary Prepayment Date, make a voluntary prepayment, in whole but not in part, of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans; provided, however, that (a) any such voluntary partial prepayment shall be made only of a Loan in full; (b) all such voluntary prepayments shall require notice on or before the date that is 30 calendar days in advance of any prepayment of the Loan or Loans (which Borrower may revoke not less than 5 Business Days prior to the scheduled prepayment); and (c) in connection with each such voluntary prepayment, Borrower shall pay all accrued interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan or Loans prepaid, all other amounts owed under any Loan Document and, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Document, the aggregate Prepayment Fee for the Loan or Loans prepaid, which shall not be refundable.

(b) Mandatory Prepayment Upon Acceleration. Upon any acceleration of any Loan pursuant to Section 7.02, Borrower shall immediately repay all (or if only a portion is accelerated thereunder, such portion of) the Loans then outstanding, including accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus the aggregate Prepayment Fee, if any, for all such Loans and all other amounts owed under the Loan Documents.

Section 2.05. Interest Provisions.

(a) Interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Fixed Rate for such Loan. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 30-day months. On the Interim Interest Payment Date for a Loan, Borrower shall pay interest accruing on such Loan from the applicable Closing Date through and including the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding the applicable Interim Interest Date. Interest accruing on each Loan on and after the Interim Interest Date for such Loan shall be payable on each Payment Date or the date of prepayment, as applicable.

(b) Any payment under a Loan Document that is not paid by Borrower on the due date thereof shall, to the extent permissible by law, bear a late charge equal to the lesser of three cents ($.03) per dollar of the delinquent amount or the lawful maximum, and Borrower shall be obligated to pay the same immediately upon receipt of Lender’s written invoice therefor.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default or after acceleration, Borrower shall pay interest (i) with respect to all Loans at a rate per annum equal to the rate otherwise in effect plus an additional 3% per annum and (ii) with respect to all other Obligations of Borrower to Lender at a rate per annum equal to the highest Fixed Rate then in effect plus an additional 3% per annum (each such rate, a “Default Rate”).

(d) The obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest to Lender, plus any other amounts paid to Lender in connection herewith and therewith, shall not be required to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for and receiving such payment by Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to Lender limiting the highest rate of interest which may be contracted for, charged or received by Lender, and in such event Borrower shall pay such Lender interest and other amounts at the highest rate permitted by applicable law.

Section 2.06. Payments Absolute. The obligations of Borrower to pay interest and principal required under this Article II and to make other payments under the Loan Documents and to perform and observe the covenants and agreements contained herein and therein shall be absolute and unconditional in all events, without abatement, diminution, deduction, setoff or defense for any reason, including, without limitation, any failure of the Collateral to be delivered, installed or constructed, as applicable, any defects, malfunctions, breakdowns or infirmities in the Collateral or any accident, condemnation, destruction or unforeseen circumstances. Notwithstanding any dispute between Borrower and Lender or any other person, Borrower shall make all payments under the Loan Documents when due and shall not withhold any payments pending final resolution of such dispute, nor shall Borrower assert any right of set-off or counterclaim against its obligation to make such payments required under the Loan Documents.

Section 2.07. Increased Capital Costs. If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other governmental authority affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Lender or any Person controlling Lender, and Lender determines that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its Commitment or the Loans made by Lender is reduced to a level below that which Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case upon notice from time to time by Lender to Borrower, Borrower shall immediately pay directly to Lender additional amounts

sufficient to compensate Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return. A statement of Lender as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on Borrower. In determining such amount, Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it shall deem applicable.

Section 2.08. Taxes.

(a) Withholding Taxes. Any and all payments by Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by Lender’s gross or net income or receipts by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Lender is organized or any political subdivision thereof or in which Lender is maintaining a lending office (such non-excluded items are referred to herein as “Taxes”). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then Borrower will (i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (ii) promptly forward to Lender an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to Lender evidencing such payment to such authority; and (iii) pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Lender will equal the full amount Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required (including penalties, interest, additional taxes and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto).

(b) Other Taxes. In addition, Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Note or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(c) Tax Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify Lender for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any amounts paid by Lender) and any liability (including, without limitation, penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date Lender makes written demand therefor and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(d) Location or Name Changes. Borrower will not change its location for purposes of Section 9-307 of the UCC or its name in any manner that could make any financing statement filed in connection with any Loan Document seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-506 of the UCC or any similar statute, unless it shall have given Lender at least 30 days’ prior written notice thereof.

Section 6.03. Indemnity.

(a) Whether or not covered by insurance, Borrower hereby assumes responsibility for and agrees to reimburse Lender, its affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (individually and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) for and will indemnify, defend and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, suits, actions, proceedings, judgments, awards, amounts paid in settlements, obligations, debts, diminutions in value, fines, penalties, charges, fees, costs and expenses

(b) If any action or proceeding be commenced by a Person other than a Indemnified Party, to which action or proceeding the Indemnified Parties are made a party by reason of the execution or performance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or by an Indemnified Party in an action or proceeding to defend or uphold the Lien of this Agreement, all sums paid by the Indemnified Parties, for the expense of any litigation to prosecute or defend the rights and Lien created hereby or otherwise, shall be paid by Borrower to such Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, as hereinafter provided. Borrower will pay and save the Indemnified Parties harmless against any and all liability with respect to any intangible personal property tax or similar imposition of any state or any subdivision or authority thereof now or hereafter in effect, to the extent that the same may be payable by the Indemnified Parties in respect of this Agreement or any Obligation.

(c) All amounts payable to the Indemnified Parties under this Section shall be deemed Obligations secured by this Agreement and shall be payable immediately upon demand.

The obligations of Borrower under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and not be merged with any applicable judgment. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Losses that is permissible under applicable law.

Section 6.04. Performance by Lender. If Borrower at any time fails to perform or observe any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, Lender may, but need not, perform or observe such covenant on behalf and in the name, place and stead of Borrower (or, at Lender’s option, in Lender’s name) and may, but need not, take any and all other actions which Lender may reasonably deem necessary to cure or correct such failure (including, without limitation, the payment of taxes, the satisfaction of Liens, the performance of obligations owed to account debtors or other obligors, the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the execution of assignments, security agreements and financing statements, and the endorsement of instruments), and Borrower shall thereupon pay to Lender on demand the amount of all moneys expended and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by Lender in connection with or as a result of the performance or observance of such agreements or the taking of such action by Lender, together with interest thereon from the date expended or incurred at the lesser of the highest Default Rate then in effect or the highest rate permitted by law. To facilitate the performance or observance by Lender of such covenants of Borrower, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender, or the delegate of Lender, acting alone, as the attorney in fact of Borrower with the right (but not the duty) from time to time to create, prepare, complete, execute, deliver, endorse or file in the name and on behalf of Borrower any and all instruments, documents, assignments, security agreements, financing statements, applications for insurance and other agreements and writings required to be obtained, executed, delivered or endorsed by Borrower under this Agreement.
