The Borrowers have requested that certain amendments be made to the Credit Agreement, which the Lender is willing to make pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Daily Three Month LIBOR ” means, for any day, the rate of interest equal to LIBOR then in effect for delivery for a three (3) month period. When interest is determined in relation to Daily Three Month LIBOR, each change in the interest rate shall become effective each Business Day that the Lender determines that Daily Three Month LIBOR has changed.

Floating Rate ” means, (i) with respect to Revolving Advances evidenced by the Revolving Note, an annual interest rate equal to the WFBC Base Rate plus one half of one percent (0.50%), and (ii) with respect to Term Advances evidenced by the Term Note, an annual interest rate equal to the sum of the WFBC Base Rate plus two and three quarters of one percent (2.75%), which interest rate shall, in each case, change when and as the Prime Rate changes.

The Borrower understands and agrees that the Lender may base its quotation of the Inter-Bank Market Offered Rate upon such offers or other market indicators of the Inter-Bank Market as the Lender in its discretion deems appropriate, including but not limited to the rate offered for U.S. dollar deposits on the London Inter-Bank Market.

(b) “ LIBOR Reserve Percentage ” means the reserve percentage prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for “Eurocurrency Liabilities” (as defined in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board, as amended), adjusted by the Lender for expected changes in such reserve percentage during the applicable term of the Revolving Note and Term Note.
