Bank Proceeds Account but prior to the Term D Loan Commitment Termination
Date, each Lender that has a portion of the Term D Loan Commitment will make
a loan (relative to such Lender, its "Term D Loan") to the Borrower equal to
such Lender's Percentage of the aggregate amount of each Borrowing of the
Term D Loans requested by the Borrower to be made on such day. The Commitment
of each such Lender described in this SECTION 2.1.6 is herein referred to as
its "Term D Loan Commitment." On the terms and subject to the conditions
hereof, the Borrower may from time to time borrow and prepay the Term D Loans
but no amount paid or prepaid with respect to the Term D Loans may be
reborrowed.
(ff) The following Section shall be added to the Credit
Agreement as SECTION 2.3.5:
SECTION 2.3.5 TERM D LOANS. On the terms and subject to the
conditions of this Agreement and the Disbursement Agreement prior to the Term
D Loan Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower may from time to time
irrevocably request that Term D Loans be made by the Lenders. Term D Loans
may be part of an Advance from time to time to Fund Project Costs in
accordance with the Loan Documents or, at the option of a Term D Lender, may
be made in a single Borrowing directly into the Bank Proceeds Account (for
purposes of the Disbursement Agreement, any Term D Loan advanced to the Bank
Proceeds Account shall be deposited into the Term B Sub-Account and disbursed
therefrom as a Term B Loan in accordance with the Disbursement Agreement and
the Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement). Any such request for Term D Loans
shall be made in accordance with SECTION 2.3.1 and Section 2.4 of the
Disbursement Agreement. Notwithstanding the date on which the Term D Loans
are made by the Lenders or any provisions of the UCC, any applicable law or
decision, each Lender agrees that all Liens and security interests created
under any Loan Document in favor of the Lenders shall inure to the benefit of
such Lender as if such Lender had made such loan on the Closing Date and such
Liens and security interests shall be treated by such Lenders, on the one
hand, and such Lenders making the Term D Loans, on the other hand, as having
equal priority.
