The outstanding balance of this Note shall appear on a supplemental bank record and is not necessarily the face amount of this Note, which record shall evidence the balance due pursuant to this Note at any time.
Principal and interest payments shall be initiated by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Note from Borrowers account through BillPayer 2000®. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to initiate such payments from Borrowers account located at Fifth Third Bank, routing number ###-###-#### account number . Borrower acknowledges and agrees that use of BillPayer 2000® shall be governed by the BillPayer 2000® Terms and Conditions, a copy of which Borrower acknowledges receipt. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees to maintain payments hereunder through BillPayer 2000® throughout the term of this Note. Each payment hereunder shall be applied first to advanced costs, charges and fees, then to accrued interest, and then to principal, which will be repaid in inverse chronological order of maturity.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrower herein, Lender hereby extends to Borrower a line of credit facility pursuant to which Lender, in its reasonable discretion, may make loans hereunder to Borrower, on a revolving basis and upon Borrowers request from time to time during the term of this Note (each, a Revolving Loan), provided that: (a) the aggregate principal amount borrowed hereunder at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Borrowing, or (ii) the Borrowing Base (as defined below) and (b) no Event of Default shall exist or be caused thereby. Lender may create and maintain reserves from time to time based on such credit and collateral considerations as Lender may deem appropriate. Borrower may borrow, prepay, in whole or in part, and reborrow hereunder; provided that, in the event that the principal amount of all Revolving Loans outstanding at any one time under this Note shall exceed the foregoing limits, Borrower shall immediately repay the amount of such excess to Lender in cash. In the event Borrower fails to pay such excess, Lender may, in its discretion, setoff such amount against Borrowers accounts at Lender.
Borrower may request a Revolving Loan by written notice to Lender, via facsimile transmission, electronic mail or otherwise, no later than 10:00 a.m. local time on the date Borrower shall request that such Revolving Loan be advanced, which written request shall include a Borrowing Base Certificate certified by the Borrower or financial officer of Borrower that sets forth the calculation of the Borrowing Base as of such date if requested or required by Lender. Lender shall make each Revolving Loan by crediting the amount thereof to Borrowers account at Lender.
The entire principal balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and any other charges, advances and fees, if any, outstanding hereunder, shall be due and payable in full on the earlier of the Maturity Date or upon acceleration of the Note.
The principal sum outstanding shall bear interest from the date of the first advance until paid at a floating rate of interest equal to the percent per annum set forth below (the Interest Rate), which rate of interest will fluctuate on a periodic basis as provided herein to the rate specified by the following table based upon the ratio of Borrowers Trailing Twelve Month EBITDA (TTM EBITDA):
PROMISSORY-NOTE © Fifth Third Bancorp 2001M (12/06) | 33118-23-8-T.WHIT - Version # 2 |
TTM EBITDA | Then Interest Rate Equals | |
Zero to $300,000.00 | Prime Rate plus 3.00% | |
Greater than $300,000 but less than or equal to $700,000 | Prime Rate plus 2.00% | |
Greater than $700,000 but less than or equal to $1,200,000 | Prime Rate plus 1.00% | |
Greater than $1,200,000 but less than or equal to $1,500,000 | Prime Rate | |
Greater than $1,500,000 but less than or equal to $2,500,000 | Prime Rate minus 0.50% | |
Greater than $2,500,000 | Prime Rate minus 1.00% |
Interest rate changes based upon changes in the foregoing chart will be made effective as of the date of the first advance hereunder and on the first day of the calendar month following the review by Lender of Borrowers monthly financial statements detailing compliance with the above-mentioned financial measurement. As used herein, Prime Rate shall mean the rate established from time to time by Fifth Third Bank at its principal office as its Prime Rate, whether or not Fifth Third Bank shall at times lend to borrowers at lower rates of interest, or if there is no such prime rate, then such other rate as may be substituted by Fifth Third Bank for the prime rate. In addition to changes occurring pursuant to fluctuations in the foregoing chart, the interest rate charged hereunder shall change automatically upon each change in the Prime Rate. Interest shall be calculated based on a 360-day year and charged for the actual number of days elapsed, and shall be payable on the 1st day of each month beginning on September 1, 2008.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note, in no event shall the interest rate charged on the Borrowing exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable state and/or federal usury law. Any payment of interest that would be deemed unlawful under applicable law for any reason shall be deemed received on account of, and will automatically be applied to reduce, the principal sum outstanding and any other sums (other than interest) due and payable to Lender under this Note, and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for the highest rate of interest permitted under applicable law.

Lenders rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative, and may be exercised together, separately, and in any order. No delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any such right or remedy shall operate as a waiver. No single or partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy shall preclude any other further exercise of it or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver or indulgence by Lender of any Event of Default shall be effective unless in writing and signed by Lender, nor shall a waiver on one occasion be construed as a waiver of any other occurrence in the future.
12. LATE PAYMENTS; DEFAULT RATE; FEES. If any payment is not paid when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or within 10 days thereafter, undersigned agrees to pay to Lender a late payment fee as provided for in any loan agreement or 5% of the payment amount, whichever is greater with a minimum fee of $20.00. After an Event of Default, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a fixed charge of $25.00, or Borrower agrees that Lender may, without notice, increase the Interest Rate by three percentage points (3%) (the Default Rate), whichever is greater. Lender may impose a non-sufficient funds fee for any check that is presented for payment that is returned for any reason. In addition, Lender may charge loan documentation fees as may be reasonably determined by the Lender.
13. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. Borrower agrees that there are no conditions or understandings which are not expressed in this Note and the documents referred to herein.
14. SEVERABILITY. The declaration of invalidity of any provision of this Note shall not affect any part of the remainder of the provisions.
15. ASSIGNMENT. Borrower agrees not to assign any of Borrowers rights, remedies or obligations described in this Note without the prior written consent of Lender. Borrower agrees that Lender may assign some or all of its rights and remedies described in this Note without notice to, or prior consent from, the Borrower.
16. MODIFICATION; WAIVER OF LENDER. The modification or waiver of any of Borrowers obligations or Lenders rights under this Note must be contained in a writing signed by Lender. Lender may perform Borrowers obligations, or delay or fail to exercise any of its rights or remedies, without causing a waiver of those obligations or rights. A waiver on one occasion shall not constitute a waiver on another occasion. Borrowers obligations under this Note shall not be affected if Lender amends, compromises, exchanges, fails to exercise, impairs or releases (i) any of the obligations belonging to any co- borrower, endorser or guarantor or (ii) any of its rights against any co- borrower, guarantor or endorser.
