As used herein, “Credit Agreement” means the Credit and Security Agreement dated as of May 31, 2017, among Borrowers, certain other Credit Parties from time to time party thereto, the lenders named therein and KeyBank National Association, as Agent, as the same may from time to time be amended, restated or otherwise modified. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.

 

Borrowers also promise to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan B from time to time outstanding, from the date of the Term Loan B until the payment in full thereof, at the rates per annum which shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1C of the Credit Agreement. Such interest shall be payable on each date provided for in such Section 2.1C; provided, however, that interest on any principal portion which is not paid when due shall be payable on demand.

 

The portions of the principal sum hereof from time to time representing the Term Loan B, and payments of principal of either thereof, shall be shown on the records of Lender by such method as Lender may generally employ; provided, however, that failure to make any such entry shall in no way detract from Borrowers’ obligations under this Note.

 

If this Note shall not be paid at maturity, whether such maturity occurs by reason of lapse of time or by operation of any provision for acceleration of maturity contained in the Credit Agreement, the principal hereof and the unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest, until paid, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. All payments of principal of and interest on this Note shall be made in immediately available funds. In the event of a failure to pay interest or principal, when the same becomes due after giving effect to any applicable grace or cure period, Lender may collect and Borrowers agree to pay a late charge of an amount equal to the greater of $50 or 5% of the amount of such late payment.
