Each LC may be terminated before its expiration only upon delivery to Stanford of written notice from Key to the effect that the LC may be terminated. 3. For so long as each LC is outstanding, Borrower shall pay to Stanford a monthly fee equal to 1% of the stated amount of the LC (the "Basic LC Fee"). The Basic LC Fee for each LC shall be payable in arrears on the 28th day of each month while the LC is outstanding, with the first Basic LC Fees being due on January 28, 2006. In addition, immediately upon expiration or the earlier termination of each LC, Borrower shall pay to Stanford an additional fee (the "Additional LC Fee") equal to three percent of the initial stated amount of the LC, provided that the Additional LC Fee is paid within six months of the date of this Agreement. The Additional LC Fee shall increase by one percentage point for each month in which the LC is outstanding after six months, effective June 29, 2006, and the 29th day of each month thereafter.

Hereafter the Basic LC Fees and the Additional LC Fees are referred to collectively as the "LC Fees." All past due LC Fees shall accrue interest at an annual rate of 12%. 4.

For example, if the Note is paid in full on September 18, 2006, then the Loan Fee payable shall be $126,000 (six percent of the Stanford Loan amount). If the Loan Fee is not timely paid, then the amount due shall accrue interest at a rate of 12% per year.
