MULTI-STRATEGYHEDGEOPPORTUNITIESLLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”) has applied for, and Harris Trust and Savings Bank, Chicago, Illinois (“Bank”), has approved the establishment of, a loan account (“Loan Account”) from which the Borrower may from time to time request loans in the aggregate amount of credit shown below (the “Maximum Credit”). This Agreement, and the Loan Account established hereunder, represents an uncommitted credit facility, and each Loan (as hereinafter defined) is made available to the Borrower subject to the Bank’s approval on a loan-by-loan basis as and when such Loan is requested by the Borrower. Interest on such loans shall be computed at a variable rate which may change daily as set in Section 2 herein. The Borrower may make principal payments at any time and in any amount, upon prior written or telephonic notice prior to 3:00 p.m. Chicago time to the Bank. The request by the Borrower for, and the making by the Bank of, any loan against the Loan Account shall constitute an agreement between the Borrower and the Bank as follows:
Type of Loan Account: | |X| | Revolving, which means as principal is repaid, the Borrower may reborrow subject to this Agreement. |
| |_| | Multiple Advances, which means that the Borrower may not reborrow any amounts that have been repaid but may still borrow the difference between the Maximum Credit and the principal amounts of prior borrowings. |
Amount of Maximum Credit: | The aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans hereunder shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (i) $50,000,000 and (ii) the Loan Formula as then determined and computed. |
Each Loan Requested Shall Be At Least: | $500,000 OR; or such greater amount in either case which is an integral multiple of $25,000. |
Interest Rate: | The Loans will bear interest as set forth in paragraph no. 2 below. |
Maturity Date: | The Loan Account terminates, and Loans are payable, ON DEMAND. |
Periodic Statements reflecting accrued interest will be sent and interest will be payable monthly. |
Payments shall be due at the Bank’s principal office in Chicago, Illinois, paid to the order of the Bank, and made by: | | |_| Debit to Harris Account #______________; |X| By Check or Wire |
1. | Using the Account.All loans and advances from the Loan Account are referred to in this Agreement as “Loans.” Loan requests shall be sent to the Borrower’s Harris Account Officer, via a Borrowing Notice, in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. Such notice shall be given on a Business Day and must be received by the Bank prior to 3:00 p.m. Chicago time on the date any requested Loan is to be made. Loan proceeds shall be credited as directed by a Master Letter of Direction, of even date herewith or as it may be amended hereafter, from the Borrower. The amount of each Loan requested shall be at least the minimum amount shown above, and the Bank shall have the right to refuse to honor any Loan requested by the Borrower which is less than that minimum amount, even if the Bank has previously honored a Loan request for less than the minimum amount. The Borrower shall not request any Loan which, when taken together with Loans then outstanding, would exceed the Maximum Credit. |
| All Loans shall be made against and evidenced by the Borrower’s promissory note payable to the order of the Bank in the principal amount of $50,000,000, such note to be in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the“Note”). The Bank agrees that, notwithstanding the principal amount of the Note stated on its face, the Note shall evidence only the actual unpaid principal balance of Loans made under the Loan Account. The Borrower agrees that in any action or proceeding instituted to collect or enforce collection of the Note, the amount shown as owing the Bank on its records shall beprima facieevidence of the unpaid balance of principal and interest on the Note. |
2. | Interest.The outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall bear interest (which the Borrower hereby promise to pay) at the Borrower’s option, at a rate of interest per annum equal to (i) the Base Rate minus 1% OR (ii) the sum of the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day that such Loans remain outstanding plus 1.75%,providedthat if the Loans or any part thereof are not paid when due (whether by demand or otherwise), the overdue portion of such Loans shall bear interest, whether before or after judgment, until payment in full thereof at the rate per annum determined by adding 2.0% to the interest rate which would otherwise be applicable thereto. Pursuant to Borrower’s receipt of a monthly statement, prepared by the Bank, interest on the Loans shall be payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each month in each year (commencing on February 28, 2005), and interest shall also be due and payable upon demand. Interest on the Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days for the actual number of days elapsed. The interest rate payable under this Agreement shall be subject, however, to the limitation that such interest rate shall never exceed the highest rate which the Borrower may contract to pay under applicable law. |
3. | Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings: |
