The amount of any such loss or expense payable by the Borrower to the Bank under this Section shall be determined in the Bank’s sole discretion based upon the assumption that the Bank funded its loan commitment for LIBOR Loans in the London Interbank Eurodollar market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which the Bank deems appropriate and practical, provided, however, that the Bank is not obligated to accept a deposit in the London Interbank Eurodollar market in order to charge interest on a LIBOR Loan at the LIBOR Rate.

(b)  LIBOR Unavailability . If the Bank determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period that (i) the making or maintenance of any LIBOR Loan would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, (ii) United States dollar deposits in the principal amount, and for periods equal to the Interest Period for funding any LIBOR Loan are not available in the London Interbank Eurodollar market in the ordinary course of business, (iii) by reason of circumstances affecting the London Interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate to be applicable to the relevant LIBOR Loan, or (iv) the LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost to the Bank of a LIBOR Loan, the Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof and, so long as the foregoing conditions continue, none of the Loans may be advanced as a LIBOR Loan thereafter. In addition, at the Borrower’s option, each existing LIBOR Loan shall be immediately (1) converted to a Prime Loan on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest Period, or (2) prepaid without penalty or premium on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest Period.

(c)  Regulatory Change . In addition, if, after the date hereof, a Regulatory Change shall, in the reasonable determination of the Bank, make it unlawful for the Bank to make or maintain the LIBOR Loans, then the Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and none of the Loans may be advanced as a LIBOR Loan thereafter. In addition, at the Borrower’s option, each existing LIBOR Loan shall be immediately (1) converted to a Prime Loan on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest Period, or (2) prepaid without penalty or premium on the last Business Day of the then existing Interest Period.

(d)  LIBOR Indemnity . If any Regulatory Change, or compliance by the Bank or any Person controlling the Bank with any request or directive of any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency (whether or not having the force of law) shall (a) impose, modify or deem applicable any assessment, reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds or disbursements by, the Bank; (b) subject the Bank or any LIBOR Loan to any tax, duty, charge, stamp tax or fee or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Bank of principal or interest due from the Borrower to the Bank hereunder (other than a change in the taxation of the overall net income of the Bank); or (c) impose on the Bank any other condition regarding such LIBOR Loan or the Bank’s funding thereof, and the Bank shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error) that the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to, or to impose a cost on, the Bank or such controlling Person of making or maintaining such LIBOR Loan or to reduce the amount of principal or interest received by the Bank hereunder, then the Borrower shall pay to the Bank or such controlling Person, on demand, such additional amounts as the Bank shall, from time to time, determine are sufficient to compensate and indemnify the Bank for such increased cost or reduced amount.

2.5.  Interest and Fee Computation; Collection of Funds . Except as otherwise set forth herein, all interest and fees shall be calculated on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days and shall be paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Principal payments submitted in funds not immediately available shall continue to bear interest until collected. If any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder or under any Note shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing any interest in respect of such payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the final payment due under any of the Loans must be made by wire transfer or other immediately available funds. All payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents shall be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense. To the extent permitted by applicable law, all payments hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents (including any payment of principal, interest, or fees) to, or for the benefit, of any Person shall be made by the Borrower free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, or account of, any taxes now or hereinafter imposed by any taxing authority.

2.6.  Late Charge . If any payment of interest or principal due hereunder is not made within ten (10) days after such payment is due in accordance with the terms hereof, then, in addition to the payment of the amount so due, to defray part of the cost of collection and handling such late payment, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank a “late charge” in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) five cents for each whole dollar so overdue, or (ii) $500.00. The Borrower agrees that the damages to be sustained by the Bank for the detriment caused by any late payment are extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain, and that the amount set forth in this Section 2.6 is a reasonable estimate of such damages, does not constitute interest, and is not a penalty.

2.7.   Letters of Credit .

Letters of Credit requested by a Letter of Credit Application shall first be issued as Facility B Loan Letter of Credit Obligations, and if the issuance of a Letter of Credit would result in the Facility B Loan Letter of Credit Obligation at any time exceeding the Facility B Loan Letter of Credit Commitment, Letters of Credit requested by a Letter of Credit Application shall be issued as Facility A Letter of Credit Obligations if the issuance of such Letters of Credit do not exceed the Facility A Loan Availability. In the event that the Borrower fails to reimburse the Bank for the amount of any payments made by the Bank with respect to draws made by a beneficiary under a Letter of Credit within two (2) Business Days from the date of such payment to such beneficiary by the Bank, the Bank may make a Facility A Loan pursuant to a loan request and the terms and conditions of this Agreement for the purpose of reimbursing the Bank for the amount of such payment to such beneficiary by the Bank in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such payment to such beneficiary by the Bank, or (ii) in an amount equal to any remaining Facility A Loan Availability. The Borrower shall reimburse the Bank for any part of a payment made by the Bank under a Letter of Credit that is not converted to a Facility A Loan within two (2) Business Days of the payment to the beneficiary by the Bank. Upon the occurrence of an Event of a Default and at the option of the Bank, all Letter of Credit Obligations shall be converted to Facility A Loans or Facility B Loans, as applicable, consisting of Prime Loans, all without demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower. All amounts advanced on such Facility A Loans or Facility B Loans shall be held in a restricted cash collateral account to be maintained with Bank as additional Collateral for the Obligations. Bank may apply the balance of any such cash collateral account to the payment of any Letters of Credit subsequently drawn. Upon discharge of all Obligations and the expiration of all Letters of Credit, the funds remaining in such accounts shall be paid to the Persons who have a beneficial interest therein.
