The aggregate principal amount of Advances, both outstanding and repaid, shall not exceed in the aggregate the Maximum Line of Credit Amount. Advances made and repaid may not be reborrowed.

The Note shall evidence Borrower's unconditional obligation to repay Lender for all Advances made under the Line of Credit, with interest as herein provided. Each Advance under the Line of Credit shall be deemed evidenced by the Note, which is deemed incorporated herein by reference and made part hereof. The Note shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.
| -3- |
d. The term of the Line of Credit shall expire on the Line of Credit Maturity Date. On such date, unless having been sooner accelerated by Lender pursuant to the terms hereof, all sums owing under the Line of Credit shall be due and payable in full, all without demand, notice, presentment or protest or further action of any kind, and as of and after such date Borrower shall not request and Lender shall not make any further Advances under the Line of Credit.
2.2. Advances and Payments:
a. Except to the extent otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all payments of principal and of interest on the Line of Credit, and all Expenses, fees, indemnification obligations and all other charges and any other Obligations of Borrower, shall be made to Lender at its office at ___________________________________________, or such other office as Lender may designate in writing, in United States dollars, in immediately available funds. Any payments received prior to 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on any Business Day shall be deemed received on such Business Day. Any payments (including any payment in full of the Obligations), received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on any Business Day shall be deemed received on the immediately following Business Day.
b. Advances which may be made by Lender from time to time under the Line of Credit shall be made available by crediting such proceeds to Borrower's operating account at _______________________ Bank, Account Number __________________.
i. All Advances requested by Borrower under the Line of Credit must be in the minimum amount of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) and integral multiples of Twenty Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) in excess thereof.
ii. All Advances requested by Borrower under the Line of Credit are to be in writing pursuant to a written request ("Advance Request") executed by an Authorized Officer in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. .
iii. Requests for Advances must be requested by 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time, on the date such Advance is to be made. Upon receiving a request for an Advance in accordance with subparagraph (ii) above, Lender shall make the requested Advance available to Borrower on that same Business Day. In the event such request for an Advance is received after 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day, the Lender shall make the requested Advance available to Borrower as soon as practicable on the following Business Day (subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement).
2.3. Interest:
a. The unpaid principal balance of Advances under the Line of Credit shall bear interest, subject to the terms hereof at a per annum rate equal to the Contract Rate.
b. Interest shall be due and payable semi-annually on the first day of each six month period from the date of this Agreement, and on the Line of Credit Maturity Date.
| -4- |
2.4. Additional Interest Provisions:
a. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days but charged for the actual number of days elapsed.
b. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder (and after giving of any required notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period), the per annum effective rate of interest on all outstanding principal under the Loans, shall be increased by five hundred (500) basis points. All such increases may be applied retroactively to the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default. Borrower agrees that the default rate payable to Lender is a reasonable estimate of Lender's damages and is not a penalty.
c. All contractual rates of interest chargeable on outstanding principal under the Loans shall continue to accrue and be paid even after Default, an Event of Default, maturity, acceleration, judgment, bankruptcy, insolvency proceedings of any kind or the happening of any event or occurrence similar or dissimilar.
d. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest hereunder and charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such court determines Lender has charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, Lender shall apply, in its sole discretion, and set off such excess interest received by Lender against other Obligations due or to become due and such rate shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by such law.
e. If any payment is more than five (5) Business Days late, Borrower agrees to pay Lender a late charge equal to five percent (5.0%) of such Payment ("Late Fee"). The provisions of this Note establishing a Late Fee shall not be deemed to extend the time for any Payment due or to constitute a "grace period" giving Borrower a right to cure such default.
2.5. Prepayments: Borrower may prepay the Line of Credit in whole or in part at any time or from time to time, without penalty or premium. Any prepayment in full shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest.
2.6. Use of Proceeds: The extensions of credit under and proceeds of the Line of Credit shall be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
