Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if the Bank determines that any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Bank to (1) maintain its commitment under this Agreement, then upon notice to the Company by the Bank the commitment of the Bank under this Agreement shall terminate; or (2) maintain or fund its LIBOR Loans, then upon notice to the Company by the Bank the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Loans, together with interest accrued thereon, and any other amounts payable to the Bank under this

Agreement shall be repaid (a) upon demand of the Bank if such change or compliance with such request, in the judgment of the Bank, requires immediate repayment; or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date of any such change or request, provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision herein, the Company shall not have more than ninety (90) days following the Bank’s notice to repay amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.12.

     2.13. Increased Cost. The Company shall pay to the Bank from time to time such amounts as the Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate the Bank for any costs incurred by the Bank which the Bank reasonably determines are directly attributable to its making or maintaining any LIBOR Loans hereunder or its obligation to make any such Loans hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by the Bank under this Agreement or the Revolving Note in respect of any such loans or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any change after the date of this Agreement in U.S. federal, state, municipal, or foreign laws or regulations (including Regulation D and any Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements), or the adoption or making after such date of any interpretations, directives, or requirements applying to a class of banks including the Bank of or under any U.S. federal, state, municipal, or any foreign laws or regulations (whether or not having the force of law) by any court or governmental or monetary authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (“Regulatory Change”), which: (1) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to the Bank under this Agreement or the Revolving Note in respect of any of such Loans (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of the Bank for any of such Loans by the jurisdiction where the Principal Office is located); or (2) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, the Bank (including any of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements); or (3) imposes any other conditions affecting this Agreement or the Revolving Note (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).

The Bank will notify the Company in writing of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that will entitle the Bank to compensation pursuant to this

Section 2.14 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation.

     Determinations by the Bank for purposes of this Section 2.14 of the effect of any increase in the amount of capital required to be maintained by the bank and of the amount allocable to the Bank’s obligations to the Company hereunder shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis, are not subject to manifest error and the written basis for said determinations are given to Company.

     2.15. Funding Loss Indemnification. The Company shall pay to the Bank, upon the request of the Bank, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of the Bank) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense incurred as a result of:

     2.16. Availability of LIBOR Loans. If Bank determines that maintenance of its LIBOR Loans would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive, whether or not having the force of law, or if Bank determines that deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund LIBOR Loans are not available to it then Bank shall forthwith give notice thereof to Borrower, whereupon, until Bank notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Bank to make LIBOR Loans shall be suspended.

The failure or delay of Bank to exercise or enforce any rights, liens, powers or remedies hereunder or under the Loan Documents or the other aforesaid agreements or other documents or against any security or collateral shall not operate as a waiver of such liens, rights, powers and remedies, but all such liens, rights powers and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all Liabilities shall have been fully satisfied, and all liens, rights, powers and remedies herein provided for are cumulative and none are exclusive.

     9.8. Amendments, Etc. No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of the Agreement, any Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by any of the parties from any Loan Document to which it is a party, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall

     THE BANK AND THE COMPANY, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE IRREVOCABLY, THE RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER OBLIGATIONS OR ANY AGREEMENT, EXECUTED OR CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONJUNCTION HEREWITH OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT OR COURSE OF DEALING, IN WHICH THE BANK AND THE COMPANY, OR ANY ONE OF THEM, ARE ADVERSE PARTIES.

     9.12. Application of Payments. Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained in this Agreement, the Company irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times hereafter received by the Bank from or on behalf of the Company, and the Company does hereby irrevocably agree that the Bank shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all payments received at any time or times hereafter, against the Liabilities in such manner as the Bank may deem advisable, notwithstanding any entry by the Bank upon any of its books and records.

     9.13. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. The Bank shall be under no obligation to marshall any assets in favor of the Company or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Liabilities. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Bank or Bank enforces its security interests or exercises its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
