Interest
| 3. | The Agreement is amended by adding the following as a new Section 4 d), Section 4 e) and Section 4 f): |
| “d) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and subject to the provisions of Sections 4 e) and f) of this Agreement, the interest rate charged on any and all outstanding Variable Rate Advances shall be the lesser of (i) the amount prescribed by Sections 4 a), b), or c) of this Agreement, as applicable, and (ii) the then applicable weighted average rate of interest or dividend rate paid to the Borrower by the issuer of the ARS Collateral. | ||
| e) | The Bank and the Borrower acknowledge and agree that the Bank shall be entitled to determine or adjust, at any time and from time to time, the interest rate payable by the Borrower to the Bank on all or any part of the outstanding Variable Rate Advances to reflect any changes in the composition of the ARS Collateral, to address any inability to determine interest rates, or for any other reason that, in the Bank’s sole and absolute discretion, is necessary to give effect to the intent of the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 4 (it being acknowledged and agreed that the provisions of this Section 4 are intended to cause the interest payable by the Borrower under this Agreement to equal the interest or dividend rate payable to the Borrower by the issuer of any ARS Collateral) and any and all such adjustments by the Bank hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Bank and the Borrower absent manifest error. | ||
| f) | If and to the extent that any or all of the ARS Collateral consists of Taxable Student Loan Auction Rate Securities, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, when calculating such weighted average interest rate, the interest rate paid to the Borrower with respect to such Taxable Student Loan Auction Rate Securities shall be deemed to be equal to (i) for the period from the date of this Addendum through and including January 21, 2009, the applicable coupon rate(s) and (ii) from January 22, 2009 and thereafter, the then applicable Taxable SLARC Maximum Auction Rate, for, and to the extent of, such Taxable Student Loan Auction Rate Securities. The Borrower will be charged interest on the Loan in months in which the Borrower does not receive interest on the Taxable Student Loan Auction Rate Securities.” |
Payments
| 4. | The Agreement is amended by adding the following as Section 5 g): | |
| “The Borrower will make additional payments (“Additional Payments”) as follows: |
| • | The proceeds of any liquidation, redemption, sale or other disposition of all or part of the ARS Collateral will be automatically transferred to the Bank as payments. The amount of these payments will be determined by the proceeds received in the Collateral Account, and may be as much as the total Credit Line Obligations. | ||
| • | All other interest, dividends, distributions, premiums, other income and payments that are received in the Collateral Account in respect of any ARS Collateral will be automatically transferred to the Bank as payments. These are referred to as “ARS Payments.” The amount of each ARS Payment will vary, based on the proceeds received in the Collateral Account. The Bank estimates that the ARS Payments will range from zero to fifteen ($15.00) dollars per month per $1,000 in par value of Pledged ARS. The Bank will notify the Borrower at least ten (10) days in advance of any ARS Payment that falls outside of this range. If the Borrower would prefer to have advance notice of each payment to be made to Advances, the Borrower may cancel ARS Payments as described below. | ||
| • | The Borrower agrees that any cash, check or other deposit (other than a deposit of securities) made to the Collateral Account is an individual authorization to have such amount transferred to the Bank as a payment. The amount of each payment is the amount of the deposit. |
| Each Additional Payment will be applied, as of the date received by the Bank, in the manner set forth in the last sentence of Section 5 d). The Borrower acknowledges that neither the Bank nor UBS Financial Services Inc. sets or arranges for any schedule of Additional Payments. Instead, Additional Payments will be transferred automatically from the Collateral Account whenever amounts are received in the Collateral Account, generally on the second Business Day after receipt. | ||
| The Borrower may elect to stop ARS Payments at any time, and this election will cancel all ARS Payments that would occur three (3) Business Days or more after the Bank receives such notice. If the Borrower stops ARS Payments, the Borrower will continue to be obligated to pay principal, interest, and other amounts pursuant to the Agreement. If the Borrower elects to cancel ARS Payments, all other Additional Payments will be cancelled. Cancelling ARS Payments and Additional Payments may result in higher interest charges by the Bank because amounts received in the Collateral Account will not be automatically transferred and credited. Any amounts received in the Collateral Account will remain in the Collateral Account unless the Bank permits you to withdraw all or part of such amounts. Your notice to cancel must be sent to: Attention: Head of Credit Risk Monitoring, UBS Bank USA, 299 South Main Street, Suite 2275, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, or call (801) 741-0310. | ||
| Important Disclosure About Required Payments.If Additional Payments are sufficient to pay all accrued interest on Advances on or before a due date, then the Borrower need not make an additional interest payment. Excess Additional Payments will be applied against principal. However, if Additional Payments are not sufficient to pay all accrued interest on Advances on or before a due date, then the Bank may, in its sole discretion (1) capitalize unpaid interest as an additional Advance, or (2) require the Borrower to make payment of all accrued and unpaid interest.” |

Remedies
| 5. | The Agreement is amended by adding the following as Section 10 e): | |
| “The Borrower agrees that in the event the Bank determines to liquidate or sell any Collateral, the Bank shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, have the right to do so in any manner, including, without limitation, the sale of Collateral individually or in a block, for cash or for credit, in a public or private sale, with or without public notice, through the use of sealed bids or otherwise, with the aid of any advisor or agent who may be an affiliate of the Bank or in any other manner as the Bank in its sole discretion shall choose. The Borrower acknowledges that the price the Bank obtains for Collateral in the Bank’s chosen method of sale may be lower than might be otherwise obtained in another method of sale, and the Borrower hereby agrees that any such sale shall not be considered to be not commercially reasonable solely because of such lower price. The Borrower understands that there may not be a liquid market for the Collateral and that, as a result, the price received for the Collateral upon liquidation or sale by the Bank may be substantially less than the Borrower paid for such Collateral or than the last market value available for it, if any. The Borrower further agrees that any sale by the Bank shall not be considered to be not commercially reasonable solely because there are few (including only one) or no third parties who submit bids or otherwise offer to buy the Collateral. The Borrower understands that the Bank’s sale of any of the Collateral may be subject to various state and federal property and/or securities laws and regulations, and that compliance with such laws and regulations may result in delays and/or a lower price being obtained for the Collateral. The Borrower agrees that the Bank shall have the right to restrict any prospective purchasers to those who, in the Bank’s sole discretion, the Bank deems to be qualified. The Borrower acknowledges that the Bank shall have sole authority to determine, without limitation, the time, place, method of advertisement and manner of sale and that the Bank may delay or adjourn any such sale in its sole discretion. The Borrower expressly authorizes the Bank to take any action with respect to the Collateral as the Bank deems necessary or advisable to facilitate any liquidation or sale, and the Borrower agrees that the Bank shall not be held liable for taking or failing to take any such action, regardless if a greater price may have been obtained for the Collateral if such action was or was not taken, as applicable. The Borrower hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any legal right of appraisal, notice, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium or redemption that the Borrower would otherwise have with respect to a sale of the Collateral.” |
Representations, Warranties and Covenants by the Loan Parties
| 6. | The Agreement is amended by adding the following as Section 11 g): |
| “g) | If at any time there are Credit Line Obligations outstanding under the Credit Line, then in connection with any ARS Collateral, if at any time any such ARS Collateral may be sold, exchanged, redeemed, transferred or otherwise conveyed by the Borrower for gross proceeds that are, in the aggregate, not less than the par value of such Auction Rate Securities to any party, including, without limitation, to UBS Financial Services Inc. and/or any of its affiliates (any such sale, exchange, redemption, transfer or conveyance referred to herein as an “ARS Liquidation”), the Borrower agrees (i) to immediately effect such ARS Liquidation to the extent necessary to satisfy all Credit Line Obligations in full and (ii) that the proceeds of any such ARS Liquidation so effected shall be immediately and automatically used to pay down any and all such outstanding Credit Line Obligations to the extent of such proceeds. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees with the Bank and directs UBS Financial Services Inc. that to the extent permitted by applicable law, this Section 11 g) shall constitute an irrevocable instruction, direction and standing sell order to UBS Financial Services Inc. to effect an ARS Liquidation to the extent it is possible to do so at any time during the term of this Agreement. The Borrower further agrees with the Bank and UBS Financial Services Inc. to execute and deliver to the Bank and/or UBS Financial Services Inc. such further documents and agreements as may be necessary in the sole and absolute discretion of the Bank and/or UBS Financial Services Inc. to effect the foregoing irrevocable instruction, direction and standing sell order.” |
