SECTION 4. LOAN ADMINISTRATION

(a) Whenever (x) U.S. Borrowers desire funding of a Borrowing of U.S. Revolver Loans, Borrower Agent shall give Administrative Agent, and (y) Canadian Borrower desires funding of a Borrowing of Canadian Loans, Canadian Borrower shall give Canadian Agent, a Notice of Borrowing. Such notice must be received by the Applicable Agent (i) no later than 11:00 a 1:00 p.m. (i) on the Business Day of the requested funding date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (ii) no later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days prior to the requested funding date, in the case of Applicable Offered Rate Loans. Notices received after 1:00 p.m., with respect to Base Rate Loans, and 11:00 a.m., with respect to Applicable Offered Rate Loans, shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the amount of the Borrowing, (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day), (C) whether the Borrowing is to be made as Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, in the case of U.S. Revolver Loans, and (D) in the case of LIBOR Loans or BA Equivalent Rate Loans, the duration of the applicable Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be one month if not specified).
(b) Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, the becoming due of any Obligations (whether principal, interest, fees or other charges, including Extraordinary Expenses, LC Obligations, Cash Collateral and Secured Bank Product Obligations) shall be deemed to be a request for Base Rate Loans on the due date, in the amount of such Obligations. The proceeds of such Loans shall be disbursed as direct payment of the relevant Obligation. In addition, the Applicable Agent may, at its option, charge such Obligations against any operating, investment or other account of a U.S. Borrower or Canadian Borrower, as the case may be, maintained with such Agent or any of its Affiliates.
(c) If any Borrower maintains any disbursement account with any Agent or any Affiliate of any Agent, then presentation for payment of any Payment Item when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan, in the case of the U.S. Borrowers, or a BA
101

Equivalent Rate Loan, in the case of the Canadian Borrower, on the date of such presentation, in the amount of the Payment Item. The proceeds of such Loan may be disbursed directly to the disbursement account.
4.1.2. Fundings by Lenders. Each Applicable Lender shall timely honor its U.S. Revolver Commitment or Canadian Commitment, as the case may be, by funding its Pro Rata share of each Borrowing of Loans that is properly requested hereunder.

Unless the Applicable Agent shall have received (in sufficient time to act) written notice from a Lender that it does not intend to fund its Pro Rata share of a Borrowing, the Applicable Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with such Agent, and such Agent may disburse a corresponding amount to U.S. Borrowers or the Canadian Borrower, as the case may be. If a Lender’s share of any Borrowing or of any settlement pursuant to Section 4.1.3(b) is not received by the Applicable Agent, then the applicable Borrower or Borrowers agree to repay to the Applicable Agent on demand the amount of such share, together with interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid, at the rate applicable to the Borrowing.

On and after the effective date of such resignation, such Swingline Lender shall have no obligation to make Swingline Loans, but shall continue to have all rights and other obligations of a Swingline Lender hereunder relating to any Swingline Loan issued by such Swingline Lender prior to such date. To the extent requested by the Borrower Agent, the applicable Swingline Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly appoint a replacement Swingline Lender which, as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, shall be reasonably acceptable to the applicable Borrower or Borrowers.

No Agent or Lender shall have any liability for any loss suffered by a Borrower as a result of any Agent or any Lender acting upon its understanding of telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person believed in good faith by any Agent or any Lender to be a person authorized to give such instructions on a Borrower’s behalf.
