Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock (a) Neither the Parent nor either Borrower will, and none of them will permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Other Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), none of the Parent, the Company, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Other Guarantor will issue any Disqualified Stock and neither Borrower will, and neither the Parent nor either Borrower will permit, any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or any Other Guarantor to issue any shares of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that: (i) the Parent or any Other Guarantor may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock and any Other Guarantor may issue shares of Preferred Stock, if the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of the Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0; or (ii) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock or other shares of Preferred Stock, if the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or other shares of Preferred Stock is issued, as the case may be, would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, in each case determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock or other shares of Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, on the first day of such four-quarter period.
Limitation on Borrowings Outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit, to a maximum of the principal amount set forth above, shall not at any time exceed an aggregate of seventy percent (70%) of Borrower's eligible accounts receivable plus $2,750,000.00 of cash collateral (the "Borrowing Base"). All of the foregoing shall be determined by Bank upon receipt and review of all collateral reports required hereunder and such other documents and collateral information as Bank may from time to time require. Borrower acknowledges that said borrowing base was established by Bank with the understanding that, among other items, the aggregate of all returns, rebates, discounts, credits and allowances for the immediately preceding three (3) months at all times shall be less than five percent (5%) of Borrower's gross sales for said period. If such dilution of Borrower's accounts for the immediately preceding three (3) months at any time exceeds five percent (5%) of Borrower's gross sales for said period, or if there at any time exists any other matters, events, conditions or contingencies which Bank reasonably believes may affect payment of any portion of Borrower's accounts, Bank, in its sole discretion, may reduce the foregoing advance rate against eligible accounts receivable to a percentage appropriate to reflect such additional dilution and/or establish additional reserves against Borrower's eligible accounts receivable. As used herein, "eligible accounts receivable" shall consist solely of trade accounts created in the ordinary course of Borrower's business, upon which Borrower's right to receive payment is absolute and not contingent upon the fulfillment of any condition whatsoever, and in which Bank has a perfected security interest of first priority, and shall not include: (i) any account which is more than ninety (90) days past due; (ii) that portion of any account for which there exists any right of setoff, defense or discount (except regular discounts allowed in the ordinary course of business to promote prompt payment) or for which any defense or counterclaim has been asserted; (iii) any account which represents an obligation of any state or municipal government or of the United States government or any political subdivision thereof (except accounts which represent obligations of the United States government and for which the assignment provisions of the Federal Assignment of Claims Act, as amended or recodified from time to time, have been complied with to Bank's satisfaction); (iv) any account which represents an obligation of an account debtor located in a country other than the United States or any of the following Canadian provinces: Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan and the Yukon Territory, except to the extent any such account, in Bank's determination, is supported by a letter of credit or insured under a policy of foreign credit insurance, in each case in form, substance and issued by a party acceptable to Bank; (v) any account which arises from the sale or lease to or performance of services for, or represents an obligation of, an employee, affiliate, partner, member, parent or subsidiary of Borrower; (vi) that portion of any account which represents interim or progress ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or retention rights on the part of the account debtor; (vii) any account which represents an obligation of any account debtor when twenty percent (20%) or more of Borrower's accounts from such account debtor are not eligible pursuant to (i) above; (viii) that portion of any account from an account debtor which represents the amount by which Borrower's total accounts from said account debtor exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of Borrower's total accounts; (ix) any account deemed ineligible by Bank when Bank, in its sole discretion, deems the creditworthiness or financial condition of the account debtor, or the industry in which the account debtor is engaged, to be unsatisfactory.
Limitation on Investments, Loans and Advances Make any advance, loan, extension of credit or capital contribution to, or purchase any stock, bonds, notes, debentures or other securities of or any assets constituting a business unit of, or make any other investment in (such advances, loans, extensions of credit, capital contributions, purchases and investments being herein called "Investments"), any Person, except: (a) extensions of trade credit in the ordinary course of business; (b) Investments in Cash Equivalents; (c) any Investment by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Special Purpose Subsidiary) in Persons engaged in the telecommunications business or businesses related thereto, provided that (i) such Person, if it shall be a Subsidiary, shall become a Restricted Subsidiary unless (A) such Person or assets shall be acquired with (I) proceeds of capital contributed to the Borrower expressly for such purpose and/or (II) funds of the Borrower in such amount that, after giving effect thereto, the Special Payment Condition shall be satisfied, provided that the Borrower shall have made a Pro Rata Payment Offer in an amount equal to such Investment and (B) the Borrower designates such Person, by notice to the Administrative Agent, as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and (ii) immediately prior and after giving effect to such Investment, the Borrower is in Pro Forma Compliance; (d) any Investment by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Special Purpose Subsidiary) in Persons not engaged in the telecommunications business or businesses related thereto if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of such Investments then held by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries does not exceed (x) at any time prior to the date on which the Special Payment Condition shall have occurred, $50,000,000, or (y) thereafter, 5% of then Total Capitalization; provided that (i) such Person, or the Person which shall become the owner of any assets acquired in connection with such Investment, shall become a Restricted Subsidiary unless (A) such Person or assets shall be acquired with (I) proceeds of capital contributed to the Borrower expressly for such purpose and/or (II) funds of the Borrower in such amount that after giving effect thereto, the Special Payment Condition shall be satisfied, provided that the Borrower shall have made a Pro Rata Payment Offer in an amount equal to such Investment and (B) the Borrower designates such Person, by notice to the Administrative Agent, an Unrestricted Subsidiary and (ii) immediately prior and after giving effect to such Investment, the Borrower is in Pro Forma Compliance; (e) any Investment arising from the acquisition by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries of any System or Systems in connection with any Asset Swap, provided that (i) to the extent that the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries give consideration for the System or Systems acquired by them in connection with such Asset Swap that is in addition to the System or Systems transferred by them in exchange therefor, such Asset Swap shall be deemed to constitute an Investment and shall be permitted only if the provisions of subsection 6.6(e) and 6.8(c) shall be complied with in connection therewith and (ii) immediately prior and after giving effect to such Investment the Borrower is in Pro Forma Compliance; (f) loans and advances to employees of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount outstanding not to exceed $10,000,000 at any one time outstanding; (g) Investments by the Borrower in its Restricted Subsidiaries and Investments by any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Special Purpose Subsidiary) in the Borrower or by any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Special Purpose Subsidiary) in any other Restricted Subsidiary; and (h) promissory notes and other deferred payment obligations that constitute proceeds of Asset Sales that are permitted by subsection 6.6.
Repayment and Amortization of Loans; Evidence of Debt (a) The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Protective Advance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by the Administrative Agent. (b) On each Business Day during a Dominion Trigger Period, the Administrative Agent shall apply an amount equal to the ledger balance in the Collection Deposit Account on such Business Day or the immediately preceding Business Day (at the discretion of the Administrative Agent) first, to prepay any Protective Advances that may be outstanding, pro rata; second, to prepay the Swingline Loans; and third, pro rata, to prepay the Revolving Loans (without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitments) and if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, deposit in the LC Collateral Account cash in an amount equal to 105% of the Letter of Credit Shortfall Amount. (c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. (e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. (f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).
