the Newcastle Letter of Credit or enforce its rights under the
Newcastle Guaranty, as applicable, at any time following such
Forbearance Termination Date. If the amount drawn by the Bank under
the Newcastle Letter of Credit exceeds the amount of Obligations
then outstanding (as determined by the Bank in its sole
3
discretion), the Bank shall promptly refund such excess amount
to Newcastle. The Bank shall promptly return the Newcastle Letter
of Credit to Newcastle upon the payment in full of the

terminated without necessity of any further action or notice by any
party. If any amounts are owing from Borrower to the Bank as a
result of such termination (a " Borrower Swap Termination
Payment "), such amounts shall automatically become part of the
Obligations and shall be immediately due and payable. For avoidance
of doubt, it is understood that the Forbearance Period shall not
begin until all Borrower Swap Termination Payments have paid. If
any amounts are owing from the Bank to Borrower as a result of the
termination of the Swap Agreement, such amounts shall be applied to

Revolving Credit Advances so long as the aggregate principal amount
of all Revolving Credit Advances at any time outstanding (without
giving effect to any Letter of Credit Liabilities) does not exceed
$2,020,000. Any advances so made by the Bank shall be evidenced by

Letter of Credit. In the event such Letter of Credit is drawn upon,

shall not cause the Forbearance Period to terminate.
