The outstanding principal amount of the Loans between the Effective Date and the Cut Off Date shall be equal to or greater than the Minimum Outstanding Loan Amount. In the event the Minimum Outstanding Loan Amount exceeds the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding, the Lenders have the right to make additional advances to the Collection Accounts in an amount necessary for the Minimum Outstanding Loan Amount to equal the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding. If at any time the sum of the aggregate principal amount of (x) the Loans outstanding hereunder exceeds the Credit Facilities or (y) the Tranche A Loans, Tranche B Loans, or Tranche C Loans exceeds the Tranche A Facility, Tranche B Facility, or Tranche C Facility, respectively, or the Borrowing Base (Tranche A), Borrowing Base (Tranche B) or Borrowing Base (Tranche C), respectively, such amounts shall be deemed an “ Overadvance .” If at the close of business on any Business Day an Overadvance shall have occurred and be continuing, then prior to the close of business on the SECOND (2[nd] ) Business Day after the occurrence of such event (such date, being a “ Call Date ”), either Debtor shall: (X) prepay the Overadvance in accordance with the priority provided therefor in section 4 (d); and/or (Y) if such Overadvance shall be the result of a Tranche A Loan, Tranche B Loan, and/or Tranche C Loan being in excess of the Borrowing Base (Tranche A), Borrowing Base (Tranche B) or Borrowing Base (Tranche C), respectively pledge (or cause to be pledged) to Agent (for the benefit of Lenders), additional Bank Program Receivables owned by Debtors, which, when added to the Bank Program Receivables owned by Debtors and pledged to Agent on the Business Day of such pledge, and after giving effect to any prepayment under clause (X) of this Section 2(a), is sufficient to cause the outstanding principal balance of the Tranche A Loans, Tranche B Loans and Tranche C Loans to be equal to or less than the Borrowing Base (Tranche A), Borrowing Base (Tranche B) or Borrowing Base (Tranche C), as applicable.

outstanding Loans, after which the balance of such repayment shall be applied against such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the outstanding Loans; and (iii) the failure of any Lender to make any Advance shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (provided, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make an Advance for which such other Lender is obligated to make hereunder). Upon the occurrence of and continuation of a Funding Default, any Debtor may require and Agent and each Lender (including without limitation a Defaulting Lender) hereby agree that the Defaulting Lender may be replaced by an Eligible Assignee within TEN (10) Business Days following Agent’s receipt of written notice from such Debtor (the “ Required Assignment Date ”) of such Debtor’s request to replace the Defaulting Lender with an Eligible Assignee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Prepayment Premium shall not be applicable in the event that the Credit Facilities are terminated as a result of: (1) the implementation by a Government Authority of a regulatory or administrative change which materially impacts Debtors’ business or the Bank Programs; (2) termination of the Credit Facilities by Lenders other than termination as a result of an Event of Default; or the refinance of the Credit Facilities by a third-party as contemplated in Sections 2(c)(i) or 2(c)(ii) above.

subject any Lender to any taxes; or (iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Credit Facilities; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to materially increase the cost to any Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any Loan, or to materially reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of Agent, Debtors will pay to Agent (for the benefit of any such Lender) such additional amount or amounts as will reasonably compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(ii) If Agent determines that any change in law affecting any Lender or any lending office of any Lender regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of materially reducing the rate of return on any Lender’s capital, as a consequence of this Agreement, to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such change in law (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Debtors will pay to Agent such additional amount or amounts as will reasonably compensate such Lender for any such reduction suffered.

(vi) Whenever a Loan shall be bearing interest at LIBOR, Debtors shall, within TEN (10) Business Days after notice, pay to Agent amounts determined in the good faith judgment of Agent, to compensate Lenders for any cost of redeploying funds in connection with any repayment (whether voluntary or involuntary) of any portion of the Loan. A certificate by Agent as to the amount of any such amount furnished to Debtors by Agent shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of a demonstrable error.
