3.2	LIBOR Rate. The election of LIBOR Rates shall be subject to the following terms and requirements:

(a)	The interest period during which the LIBOR Rate will be in effect will be one month, two months, three months or six months. The first day of the interest period must be a day other than a Saturday or a Sunday on which banks are open for business in New York and London and dealing in offshore dollars (a “LIBOR Banking Day”). The last day of the interest period and the actual number of days during the interest period will be determined by the Bank using the practices of the London inter-bank market.

(b)	Each LIBOR Rate portion will be for an amount not less than One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00).

(c)	A LIBOR Rate may be elected only for the entire principal amount outstanding under the applicable facility.

(d)	The “LIBOR Rate” means the interest rate determined by the following formula. (All amounts in the calculation will be determined by the Bank as of the first day of the interest period.)


	LIBOR Rate =		LIBOR
			(1.00 - Reserve Percentage)

Where,


	(i)	“LIBOR” means, for any applicable interest period, the rate per annum equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (or a comparable or successor rate which is approved by the Bank), as published by Bloomberg (or other commercially available source providing quotations of such rate as selected by the Bank from time to time) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time two (2) London Banking Days before the commencement of the interest period, for U.S. Dollar deposits (for delivery on the first day of such interest period) with a term equivalent to such interest period. If such rate is not available at such time for any reason, then the rate for that interest period will be determined by such alternate method as reasonably selected by the Bank. A “London Banking Day” is a day on which banks in London are open for business and dealing in offshore dollars.

	(ii)	“Reserve Percentage” means the total of the maximum reserve percentages for determining the reserves to be maintained by member banks of the Federal Reserve System for Eurocurrency Liabilities, as defined in Federal Reserve Board Regulation D, rounded upward to the nearest 1/100 of one percent. The percentage will be expressed as a decimal, and will include, but not be limited to, marginal, emergency, supplemental, special, and other reserve percentages.

(e)	The Borrower shall irrevocably request a LIBOR Rate Portion no later than 12:00 noon Eastern time on the LIBOR Banking Day preceding the day on which the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate will be set, as specified above. For example, if there are no intervening holidays or weekend days in any of the relevant locations, the request must be made at least three days before the LIBOR Rate takes effect.

(f)	The Bank will have no obligation to accept an election for a LIBOR Rate Portion if any of the following described events has occurred and is continuing:

	(i)	Dollar deposits in the principal amount, and for periods equal to the interest period, of a LIBOR Rate Portion are not available in the London Inter-bank market;

	(ii)	the LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of a LIBOR Rate Portion; or

	(iii)	adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period.

Standard Loan Agreement


(g)	Each prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Portion, whether voluntary, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, will be accompanied by the amount of accrued interest on the amount prepaid and a prepayment fee as described below. A “prepayment” is a payment of an amount on a date earlier than the scheduled payment date for such amount as required by this Agreement.

(h)	The prepayment fee is intended to compensate the Bank for the funding costs of the prepaid credit, if any. The prepayment fee will be determined by calculating the funding costs Incurred by the Bank, based on the cost of funds at the time the interest rate was fixed, and subtracting the interest income which can be earned by the Bank by reinvesting the prepaid funds at the Reinvestment Rate. The calculation is defined more fully below.

(i)	The “Fixed Interest Rate Period” is the period during which the interest rate in effect at the time of the prepayment does not change. If the Fixed Interest Rate Period does not extend for the entire remaining life of the credit, then the following rules will apply:

	(i)	For any portion of the prepaid principal for which the scheduled payment date is after the end of the Fixed Interest Rate Period, the prepayment fee for that portion shall be calculated based only on the period through the end of the Fixed Interest Rate Period, as described below.

	(ii)	If a prepayment is made on a date on which the interest rate resets, then there will be no prepayment fee.

(j)	The prepayment fee calculation is made separately for each Prepaid Installment. A “Prepaid Installment” is the amount of the prepaid principal that would have been due on a particular scheduled payment date (the “Scheduled Payment Date”). However, as explained in the preceding paragraph, all amounts of the credit which would have been paid after the end of the Fixed Interest Rate Period shall be considered a single Prepaid Installment with a Scheduled Payment Date (for the purposes of this calculation) equal to the last day of the Fixed Interest Rate Period.

(k)	The prepayment fee for a particular Prepaid Installment will be calculated as follows:

	(i)	Calculate the monthly interest payments that would have accrued on the Prepaid Installment through the applicable Scheduled Payment Date, if the prepayment had not been made. The interest payments will be calculated using the Original Cost of Funds Rate.

	(ii)	Next, calculate the monthly interest Income which could be earned on the Prepaid Installment if it were reinvested by the Bank at the Reinvestment Rate through the Scheduled Payment Date.

	(iii)	Calculate the monthly differences of the amounts calculated in (i) minus the amounts calculated in (ii).

	(iv)	If the remaining term of the Fixed Interest Rate Period is greater than one year, calculate the present value of the amounts calculated in (iii), using the Reinvestment Rate. The result of the present value calculation is the prepayment fee for the Prepaid Installment.

(l)	Finally, the prepayment fees for all of the Prepaid Installments are added together. The sum, if greater than zero, is the total prepayment fee due to the Bank.

(m)	The following definitions will apply to the calculation of the prepayment fee:

	(i)	“Original Cost of Funds Rate” means the fixed interest rate per annum, determined solely by the Bank, at which the Bank would be able to borrow funds in the Bank Funding Markets for the duration of the Fixed Interest Rate Period In the amount of the prepaid principal and with a term, interest payment frequency, and principal repayment schedule matching the prepaid principal.

	(ii)	“Bank Funding Markets” means one or more wholesale funding markets available to the Bank, including the LIBOR. Eurodollar, and SWAP markets as applicable and available, or such other appropriate money market as determined by the Bank in its sole discretion.

Ref #: 1001754312 : - Servotronics Inc

Standard Loan Agreement


	(iii)	“Reinvestment Rate” means the fixed rate per annum, determined solely by the Bank, as the rate at which the Bank would be able to reinvest funds in the amount of the Prepaid Installment in the Bank Funding Markets on the date of prepayment for a period of time approximating the period starting on the date of prepayment and ending on the Scheduled Payment Date.

(n)	The Original Cost of Funds Rate and the Reinvestment Rate are the Bank’s estimates only and the Bank is under no obligation to actually purchase or match funds for any transaction or reinvest any prepayment. The Bank may adjust the Original Cost of Funds Rate and the Reinvestment Rate to reflect the compounding, accrual basis, or other costs of the prepaid amount. The rates shall include adjustments for reserve requirements, federal deposit insurance and any other similar adjustment which the Bank deems appropriate. These rates are not fixed by or related in any way to any rate the Bank quotes or pays for deposits accepted through its branch system.

5.6 Interest Calculation. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all interest and fees, if any, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

5.7 Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of any default or after maturity or after judgment has been rendered on any obligation under this Agreement, all amounts outstanding under this Agreement, including any unpaid Interest, fees, or costs, will at the option of the Bank bear interest at a rate which is 6.0 percentage point(s) higher than the rate of interest otherwise provided under this Agreement.
