Exhibit 4.63
 
 
“3.
INTEREST.  Each Term Loan Advance shall accrue interest at a variable per annum rate of interest equal to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, plus the LIBOR Rate Margin (as such terms are defined in Rider A attached hereto and made a part hereof entitled “RBS Citizens Standard LIBOR Provisions”).  Changes in the interest rate applicable to any Term Loan Advance occurring as a result of changes in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall take place immediately without notice to Borrower or demand of any kind.  At any time prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date and provided that no Event of Default has occurred under the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall have the option, upon written notice to Lender in each instance and upon Lender’s approval, to enter into one or more Hedging Contracts (as defined in Rider A) with respect to all or a portion of the then outstanding principal balance under this Note, which Hedging Contracts shall commence on the date of such Hedging Contract and shall continue for a period not to exceed the Term Loan Maturity Date.  Any principal amount subject to a Hedging Contract shall accrue interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin.  Interest shall at all times be calculated on a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, but shall accrue and be payable on the actual number of days elapsed.”

““LIBOR Rate Margin shall mean four and one-half of one percent (4.5%).”

3.

““Note” means that certain Term Promissory Note dated as of November 30, 2007, in the original principal amount of $13,000,000.00 made payable by the Borrower to the order, and for the benefit, of the Lender, to which this Rider A is attached, as amended by (i) a certain Amendment No. 1 and Allonge to Term Promissory Note dated as of June 30, 2008 increasing the principal amount of the loan to $15,000,000.00,  (ii) a certain Amendment No. 2 and Allonge to Term Promissory Note dated as of October 1, 2008 and (iii) a certain Amendment No. 3 and Allonge to Term Promissory Note dated as of March __, 2009.”
