2. Amendments. The Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
2.1 | In Paragraph 1.1, is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows: |
1.1 Line of Credit Amount.
(a) | During the availability described below, the Bank will provide a line of credit to the Borrower (“Facility No. 1”). The maximum amount of Facility No. 1 commitment (the “Facility No. 1 Commitment”) is Twenty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00). One hundred percent (100%) of Facility No. 1 may be used for letter of credit issuance. Direct borrowings will be capped at all times not to exceed Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00). At no time can the combined exposure of direct borrowings and letters of credit exceed Twenty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00). The Bank has also agreed to continue to provide a card program to the Borrower (“Card Program”) in the amount of Forty-Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($45,000,000.00). In no event shall the Facility No. 1 Commitment together with the commitment under the Card Program exceed at any time Sixty-Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($65,000,000.00). |
(b) | The Facility No. 1 is a revolving line of credit. During the availability period, the Borrower may repay principal amounts and reborrow them subject to the maximum amount limitations set forth in paragraph (a) above. |
1
(c) | The Borrower agrees not to permit the principal balance outstanding under Facility No. 1 to exceed the Facility No. 1 Commitment as such commitment may be reduced from time to time by the Card Program. If the Borrower exceeds the applicable limitation, the Borrower will immediately pay the excess to the Bank upon the Bank’s demand. |
2.2 In Paragraph 1.2, the date "July 31, 2016" is changed to "July 31, 2017".
2.3 Paragraph 1.4 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
1.4 Interest Rate.
(a) The interest rate is a rate per year equal to the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate plus 1.75 percentage point(s).
(b) The LIBOR Daily Floating Rate is a fluctuating rate of interest which can change on each banking day. The rate will be adjusted on each banking day to equal the London Interbank Offered Rate (or a comparable or successor rate which is approved by the Bank) for U.S. Dollar deposits for delivery on the date in question for a one month term beginning on that date. The Bank will use the London Interbank Offered Rate as published by Bloomberg (or other commercially available source providing quotations of such rate as selected by the Bank from time to time) as determined at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time two (2) London Banking Days prior to the date in question, as adjusted from time to time in the Bank’s sole discretion for reserve requirements, deposit insurance assessment rates and other regulatory costs. If such rate is not available at such time for any reason, then the rate 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. If at any time the LIBOR Daily Floating Rate is less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.

2.4 Paragraph 1.6 is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
1.6 Letters of Credit.
(a) | As a subfacility under the Line of Credit, during the availability period, the Bank agrees from time to time to issue or cause an affiliate to issue commercial and standby letters of credit for the account of the Borrower (each, a "Letter of Credit" and collectively, "Letters of Credit"); provided however, that the aggregate drawn and undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall not at any time exceed Twenty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00). Additionally, the sum of (i) the amount of commercial letters of credit outstanding (including the drawn and unreimbursed amounts of the letters of credit), plus (ii) the face amount of outstanding acceptances, may not exceed in the aggregate at any one time Twenty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($20,000,000.00). The form and substance of each Letter of Credit shall be subject to approval by the Bank, in its sole discretion. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued for a term, as designated by the Borrower; not to exceed three hundred sixty-five (365) days; provided however, that no Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date more than one hundred eighty (180) days beyond the Facility No. 1 Expiration Date. Standby letters of credit may include a provision providing that |
2
their expiry date will automatically be extended each year for an additional one year period unless the Bank delivers written notice to the contrary. The undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit shall be reserved under the Line of Credit and such amount shall not be available for borrowings. Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit agreements, applications and any related documents required by the Bank in connection with the issuance of Letters of Credit. At the option of the Bank, any drawing paid under a Letter of Credit may be deemed an advance under the Line of Credit and shall be repaid by the Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to such advances; provided however, that if advances under the Line of Credit are not available, for any reason, at the time any drawing is paid, then the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Bank the full amount drawn, together with interest from the date such drawing is paid to the date such amount is fully repaid by the Borrower, at the rate of interest applicable to advances under the Line of Credit. In such event the Borrower agrees that the Bank, in its sole discretion, may debit any account maintained by the Borrower with the Bank for the amount of any such drawing. The Borrower agrees to deposit in a cash collateral account with the Bank an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding undrawn face amount of all letters of credit which remain outstanding on the Facility No. 1 Expiration Date. The Borrower grants a security interest in such cash collateral account to the Bank. Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Bank to the payment of drafts drawn under such letters of credit and to the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Bank, in such order of application as the Bank may in its sole discretion elect.
