(1) the proposed Borrowing Date for the Loans to be made to the Borrower in connection therewith;
(2) the aggregate principal amount of such Loans;

(4) the Applicable Margin proposed by UBS for such Loans (together with the Fixed Rate that would apply if such Loans were made on the proposed Borrowing Date as Fixed Rate Loans);
provided that:
(i) the proposed Borrowing Date for such Loans shall be not less than three Business Days after the date on which such Borrowing Proposal is delivered to the Borrower and shall fall within the Borrowing Period;
(ii) the aggregate principal amount of such Loans shall be not less than $10,000,000;
(iii) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans theretofore made hereunder, together with the principal amount of the Loans proposed to be made, shall not exceed $500,000,000;

(d) Failure to Borrow. If for any reason the Borrower fails to borrow under a Loan to be made by UBS on the Borrowing Date for such Loans as provided in Section 2(c) above, or any of the conditions specified in Section 3 shall not have been fulfilled by the time required on such Borrowing Date, then such occurrence shall constitute a "Borrowing Failure" for purposes hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Borrowing Failure, the Loan Parties shall pay to UBS, in immediately available funds, all Breakage Costs and Make-Whole Amounts owing with respect to the Loans that were to be made on such Borrowing Date.
3. Conditions Precedent.

(ii) impose on UBS any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Loans made by UBS;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to UBS of making any Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by UBS hereunder or under the Fee Letters, then the Loan Parties will pay to UBS such additional amount or amounts as will compensate UBS for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital Requirements.

(c) Certificates from UBS. A certificate of UBS setting forth a reasonable calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate UBS or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to a Loan Party and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Loan Parties shall pay UBS the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of UBS to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of UBS's right to demand such compensation; provided that (A) the Loan Parties shall not be required to compensate UBS pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that UBS notifies a Loan Party of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of UBS's intention to claim compensation therefor; and (B) if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
