Such Default Rate of interest shall also be charged on any amounts owed by the Borrowers to the Lender pursuant to any judgment entered in favor of Lender with respect to this Note.

(iii)

Unused Line Fee. On the first day of each month and upon Maturity, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) equal to 1.0% multiplied by the amount by which the Maximum Advance Amount exceeded the sum of the average daily outstanding amount of outstanding Advances under this Note.

This Note (i) shall be binding upon each Borrower and the Lender and, where applicable, their successors and permitted assigns, and (ii) shall inure to the benefit of each Borrower and the Lender and, where applicable, their successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that no Borrower may assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lender, and any such assignment or attempted assignment by any Borrower shall be void and of no effect with respect to the Lender. The Lender may from time to time sell or assign, in whole or in part, or grant participations in the Credit Facility, the Note or the Obligations evidenced thereby. The Borrowers authorize the Lender to provide information concerning the Borrowers to any prospective purchaser, assignee or participant; provided that the recipient signs a customary non-disclosure agreement.

Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law. If any provision of this Note is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Note. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Note so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Savings. This Note is subject to the express condition that, at no time shall any Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest at a rate that could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of such interest rate exceeding the maximum rate (the “Highest Lawful Rate”) that such Borrower is permitted by applicable Law to contract to agree to pay. If the rate of interest at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Obligations shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Note had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Obligations are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Note had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by applicable Law, each applicable Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lender and Borrowers to conform strictly to any applicable usury Laws. Accordingly, if Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the Obligations or be refunded to Borrowers.

Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower is jointly and severally liable for the Obligations under the Note.

Joint Drafting. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Note. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Note shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Note.

Survival of Covenants. This Note and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in any certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making of the Advances and the execution and delivery of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been fully paid, performed, satisfied and discharged.

Counterparts. This Note may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Execution and delivery of this Note by delivery of a facsimile or electronically recorded copy in .pdf file format bearing a copy of the signature of a Party shall constitute a valid and binding execution and delivery of this Note by such Party. Such copies shall constitute enforceable original documents.

Headings. The section headings contained in this Note are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Note.

Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Note to an Article, Section or Exhibit, such reference will be to an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit to, this Note unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Note, they will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Note will refer to this Note as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Note. Unless the context expressly provides otherwise, any approval, determination, election or authorization required to be obtained from a Party shall be at such Party’s sole discretion. The word “or” is not exclusive. All terms used herein with initial capital letters have the meanings ascribed to them herein and all terms defined in this Note will have such defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. The definitions contained in this Note are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Unless otherwise indicated, any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein, or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein, means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns.

Disclosure. Borrowers consent to Lender or its Affiliates publicly disclosing this Note and the other Transaction Agreements, including by filing such documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission or the New York Stock Exchange.

Independent Counsel. Each Party certifies that it has read the terms of this Note, that it understands the terms of this Note, and that it is entering into this Note of its own volition. Each Party warrants and represents that it has (a) been represented by an attorney of its choice in connection with the Note and received independent legal advice from its attorney regarding its decision with respect to the advisability of making and entering into this Note, or (b) had sufficient time, opportunity and means to engage an attorney of its choice in order to be represented by such attorney in connection with the Note and to receive independent legal advice from such attorney regarding its decision with respect to the advisability of making and entering into this Note, and has made a knowing and voluntary decision not to do so.
