The prime rate shall be increased or decreased as the case may be for each increase or decrease in the prime rate in an amount equal to such increase or decrease in the prime rate; each change to be effective as of the day of the change in such rate. Subject to Section 1.1(b) hereof, the Interest Rate shall not be less than eight percent (8.0%).

The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.
