and reborrow Swingline Loans.
(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the
Swingline Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such request
by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) (i) in the case of Swingline Dollar
Borrowings, not later than 11:00 a.m., Dallas, Texas time, on the date of
the proposed Borrowing, and (ii) in the case of Foreign Currency Borrowings,
not later than 2:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time, three Business Days before
such Foreign Currency Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request
shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or
telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a
form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower. Each
such telephonic and written Borrowing
6
Request shall specify the following information in compliance with
Section 2.02:
(A) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;
(B) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(C) the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall
be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest
Period;”
(D) the Available Currency in which such Borrowing is to be
denominated; and
(E) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds
are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section
2.07.
If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Fixed
Rate Swingline Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected
an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Each such notice shall be
irrevocable. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available
to the Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the
Borrower with the Swingline Lender or by wire transfer, automated clearing
house debit or interbank transfer to such other account, accounts or Persons
as may be designated from time to time by the Borrower (or, in the case of a
Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as
provided in Section 2.06(e), by remittance to the applicable Issuing
Bank) by 2:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time, on the requested date of such
Swingline Loan.
(c) Subject to Section 2.15, each Swingline Borrowing shall be
comprised entirely of Fixed Rate Loans (other than Swingline Dollar Loans
which shall be Fed Funds Loans) denominated in either Dollars, Euros, Swiss
Francs, Czech Korunas, Mexican Pesos or English Pounds Sterling as the
Borrower may request in accordance herewith. The Swingline Lender at its
option may make any Swingline Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch
or Affiliate of such Swingline Lender to make such Loan; provided
that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of
the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(d) At the time that each Swingline Borrowing is made, such Borrowing
shall be in aggregate amount that is not less than $500,000. Borrowings of
more than one Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided
that there shall not at any time be more than a total of fifteen
Fixed Rate Borrowings outstanding under both the Revolving Loans and the
Swingline Loans.
7
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower
shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any
Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end
after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.
(f) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the
Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon, Dallas, Texas time, on any
Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such
Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such
notice shall specify the aggregate Dollar Amount of Swingline Loans in which
Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice,
the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender,
specifying in such notice such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit
Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided
above, to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account of the
Swingline Lender, the Dollar Amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving
Credit Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in
Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(f) is absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or
termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall
be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this
Section 2.05(f) by wire transfer of Dollars in immediately available
funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect
to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.07 shall
apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the
Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline
Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Upon the
funding of a participation under this Section 2.05(f) in any Foreign
Currency Loan, the portion of such Loans so funded shall be converted to
Dollar Swingline Loans accruing interest as Fed Funds Loans but JPMorgan’s
Revolving Credit Percentage of such Loans shall remain as an applicable
Foreign Currency Loan. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower
of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this
Section 2.05(f), and thereafter payments in respect of such
Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the
Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the
Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a
Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a
sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the
Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent
shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving
Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this Section
2.05(f) and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear;
8
provided, that, any such payment so remitted shall be
repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to
the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline
Loan pursuant to this Section 2.05(f) shall not relieve the Borrower
of any default in the payment thereof.
(g) The Swingline Lender may request that any Swingline Loan made
hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower
shall prepare, execute and deliver to the Swingline Lender a promissory note
payable to the order of the Swingline Lender and in a form approved by the
Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender.”

percent (75%) of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on such date to the
reduction of the Revolving Commitments as set forth in Section
2.12(e); provided, that, in the event the Borrower shall
have provided the Administrative Agent with a Reinvestment Notice prior to
the consummation of any Asset Disposition, then, on the first Business Day
following the end of the Reinvestment Period applicable thereto, such Net
Cash Proceeds that have not been applied during such Reinvestment Period to
acquire assets or for other purposes useful in the Borrower’s business (as
described in Section 3.16 hereof) shall be applied on such date to
