Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default with respect to the Account Party, Bank may (but shall not be required to), without demand for reimbursement or payment or notice to the Account Party, and in addition to any other right of set-off that Bank may have, debit any account or accounts maintained by the Account Party with any office of Bank (now or in the future) and set-off and apply (i) any balance or deposits (general, special, time, demand, provisional, final, matured or absolute) in the account(s) and (ii) any sums due or payable from Bank, to the payment of any and all Obligations owed by the Account Party to Bank, irrespective of whether Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Bank agrees promptly to notify the Account Party after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

(iii)Bank or any of its branches or affiliates being the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit;

(iv)Bank or any correspondent bank honoring a drawing against a Drawing Document up to the amount available under any Letter of Credit even if such

Drawing Document claims an amount in excess of the amount available under such Letter of Credit;

(v)the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that Account Party or any other Person may have at any time against any beneficiary or any assignee of proceeds, Bank or any other Person; or

provided, however, that subject to Section 5(b) below, the foregoing shall not release Bank from such liability to the Account Party as may be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment against Bank following reimbursement and/or payment of the Obligations.

(f)Computation of Interest and Fees; Maximum Rate. All computations of interest and fees to be made hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall be made on the basis of a year consisting of (i) in the case of interest determined with reference to the [*****], 365/366 days, as the case may be, or (ii) in all other instances, 360 days; and in each case under (i) and (ii), for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fee is payable. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest under this Agreement charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any applicable law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that Bank has charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by applicable law and Bank shall at its option (i) promptly refund to the Account Party any interest received by Bank in excess of the maximum lawful rate or (ii) apply such excess to any outstanding Obligations.

Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the earlier of (a) the close of business on the date one year after the date of the Issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension), or (b) the Final Maturity Date; provided, however, if the Account Party so requests in any applicable Application, Bank agrees to issue a Letter of Credit that provides for the automatic renewal for successive periods of one year or less until Bank shall have delivered prior written notice of nonrenewal to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Non-Extension”) no later than 60 days prior to the stated maturity date specified in such Letter of Credit (such time, the “Non-Extension Notice Date”). The Account Party acknowledges that Bank shall not be required to

extend any Letter of Credit if Bank has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit (as extended) under the terms hereof.

(h)Permanent Reduction of Commitment. The Account Party shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon at least three Business Days’ prior irrevocable written notice to Bank, to permanently reduce, without premium or penalty, (i) the entire Commitment at any time or (ii)  portions of the Commitment, from time to time, in an aggregate principal amount not less than [*****] or any whole multiple of [*****] in excess thereof. All Commitment Fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Commitment shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

The Account Party is solely responsible for the suitability of the Letter of Credit for the Account Party’s purposes. The Account Party will examine the copy of each Letter of Credit Issued for its account and any other documents sent by Bank in connection with such Letter of Credit and shall promptly notify Bank of any non-compliance with the Account Party’s Instructions and of any discrepancy in any document under any presentment or other irregularity.
