Commodity Exchange Act means the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.).

Eligible Contract Participant means shall mean an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act and regulations thereunder.
 
Eligibility Date means, with respect to Borrower and each Guarantor and each Swap Contract, the date on which this Agreement or any other Loan Document becomes effective with respect to such Swap Contract (for the avoidance of doubt, the Eligibility Date shall be the Effective Date of such Swap Contract if this Agreement or any other Loan Document is then in effect with respect to any of Borrower or any Guarantor, and otherwise it shall be the Closing Date and/or such other Loan Documents to which any of Borrower or any Guarantor is a party).  For purposes of this defined term, “Effective Date” means the date indicated in a document or agreement to be the date on which such document or agreement becomes effective, or, if there is no such indication, the date of execution of such document or agreement.
 
Excluded Swap Obligation means, with respect to any of Borrower or any Guarantor, any Swap Obligation if, and to the extent that, all or a portion of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that relates to such Swap Obligation of such Person, is or becomes illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act (or the application or official interpretation thereof) by virtue of such Person’s failure for any reason to constitute an Eligible Contract Participant on the Eligibility Date for such Swap Contract.  If a Swap Obligation arises under a Master Agreement governing more than one Swap Contract, such exclusion shall apply only to the portion of such Swap Obligation that is attributable to Swap Contracts for which such guaranty or security interest is or becomes illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act, solely as a result of the failure by any of Borrower or any Guarantor for any reason to qualify as an Eligible Contract Participant on the Eligibility Date for such Swap Contract.

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio means, when determined, for TOCCO, the ratio of (a) EBITDA minus Unfinanced Capital Expenditures minus cash Taxes and minus cash dividends or cash distributions, in each case for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarter period, to (b) the sum of (i) the principal amount of current maturities of long term Funded Debt of TOCCO and its Subsidiaries, plus (ii) interest expense in respect of Funded Debt of TOCCO and its Subsidiaries, in each case for the immediately preceding four fiscal quarter period.

Funded Debt means, when determined, (a) all Debt of TOCCO and its Subsidiaries for borrowed money (whether as a direct obligor on a promissory note, a reimbursement obligor on a letter of credit, a guarantor, or otherwise), and (b) all capital lease obligations of TOCCO and its Subsidiaries.

Obligation means all present and future Debt, liabilities and obligations (including the Loans, the LC Borrowings and LC reimbursement obligations and the obligations under any Swap Contract other than Excluded Swap Obligations), whether direct or indirect (including those acquired by assumption), absolute or contingent, due or to become due, and all renewals, increases and extensions thereof, or any part thereof, now or in the future owed to Lender by any Company under any Loan Document, together with all interest accruing thereon, reasonable fees, costs and expenses payable under the Loan Documents or in connection with the enforcement of rights under the Loan Documents, including (a) fees and expenses under Section 8.12, and (b) interest and fees that accrue after the commencement by or against any Company or any Affiliate thereof of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law naming such Person as the debtor in such proceeding, regardless of whether such interest and fees are allowed claims in such proceeding.

Qualified ECP Loan Party means, at any time, any of Borrower or any Guarantor with total assets exceeding $10,000,000 or that qualifies at such time as an Eligible Contract Participant and can cause another Person to qualify as an Eligible Contract Participant at such time under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Revolving Committed Amount means $18,000,000.
 
Revolving Credit Termination Date means the earlier of (a) June 30, 2018, or (b) the effective date that Lender’s Commitment to make Credit Extensions under the Revolving Credit Facility under this Agreement is otherwise canceled or terminated in accordance with Section 12 of this Agreement or otherwise.
 
Subject Expansion means collectively, the development, construction, equipping and installation of certain Improvements on the Subject Property to expand Borrower’s penhex manufacturing capacity as disclosed to Lender in connection with Lender’s underwriting and credit approval of the Term Loan.
 
Specified Loan Party means any of Borrower or any Guarantor that on the Eligibility Date fails to qualify as an Eligible Contract Participant.
 
Swap Obligations means with respect to any of Borrower or any Guarantor, any obligation to pay any obligation to pay or perform under any agreement, contract or transaction that constitutes a “swap” within the meaning of Section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Term Committed Amount means the lesser of (a) the aggregate amount of all invoices paid with the proceeds of the Term Loan for the Subject Expansion, and (b) $39,000,000 (such amount being comprised of the total of $10,000,000 being the total of the Term Committed Amount before giving effect to the Waiver and Seventh Amendment to this Agreement, plus $4,000,000 under the Second Term Loan, plus $25,000,000 under the Third Term Loan).

Third Term Loan means the multiple advance Loan in the amount of $25,000,000 made under the Term Loan by Lender to Borrower on or after the effective date of the Fourteenth Amendment to this Agreement to finance further costs and expenses of the Subject Expansion.
